mfa-1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU16992 (mfa-1) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes the mating pheromone precursor protein mfa-1. The gene is directly annotated to the biological processes of mating, pheromone response, and chemotropism. These associations indicate that mfa-1 is linked to the production of a pheromone. No enzyme class or molecular function is assigned, so the product itself is a signaling peptide rather than an enzyme.
