MedKoo Cat#: 571224 | Name: Streptomyces A-Factor

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Streptomyces A-Factor is a microbial hormone found in Streptomyces griseus, A-factor at an extremely low concentration triggers streptomycin biosynthesis and cell differentiation by binding a repressor-type receptor protein (ArpA) and dissociating it from DNA. A factor plays a role in allowing the cell to grow healthy and to produce antibiotics in response to environmental conditions.
