scaffoldingproteiner
Scaffoldingproteiner, or scaffold proteins, are a class of proteins that play a crucial role in cellular signal transduction pathways. They function primarily by assembling and organizing groups of other proteins involved in signaling cascades, thereby facilitating efficient and specific communication within the cell. Scaffold proteins do not have enzymatic activity themselves but serve as platforms that bring together different enzymes, substrates, and regulatory proteins to enhance reaction speed and fidelity.
These proteins are characterized by the presence of multiple binding domains, enabling them to interact with
Examples of well-studied scaffold proteins include the KSR (Kinase Suppressor of Ras), which organizes components of
Research on scaffoldingproteiner continues to expand, highlighting their importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis and their potential
