adaptoriproténeja
Adaptoriproténeja, often referred to as adaptor proteins, are a crucial class of molecules involved in cellular signaling pathways. These proteins do not typically possess enzymatic activity themselves but act as intermediaries, bridging the gap between other proteins and facilitating the formation of functional signaling complexes. Their primary role is to recruit specific proteins to particular cellular locations or to other proteins, thereby modulating the downstream effects of a signaling cascade.
The structure of adaptor proteins is characterized by multiple protein-binding domains. These domains, such as SH2,
Adaptor proteins play a critical role in a wide array of cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation,
