Term Name: | adaptation of signaling pathway by response to pheromone involved in conjugation with cellular fusion |
---|---|
Synonyms: | adaptation of signalling pathway by response to pheromone involved in conjugation with cellular fusion, adaptation to pheromone during conjugation with cellular fusion, desensitization to pheromone during conjugation with cellular fusion |
Definition: | In organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion, the process resulting in desensitization following exposure to pheromone stimulus that act to down-regulate further stimulation or block initial conjugation responses. An example of this is the adaptation to pheromone during conjugation with cellular fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. |
