adaptation of signaling pathway by response to pheromone involved in conjugation with cellular fusion

Term ID

GO:0000754

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.
