An adaptor protein is a substance that helps in connecting different proteins together, like a bridge. It allows these proteins to interact and work together, enabling different cellular processes to happen efficiently. Full definition
Endocytosis of Frizzled 4 (Fz4) in human embryonic kidney 293 cells was dependent on added Wnt5A protein and was accomplished by the multifunctional adaptor protein β - arrestin 2 (βarr2), which was recruited to Fz4 by binding to phosphorylated Dvl2. (science.sciencemag.org)
The protein TRAF6 is a very important adaptor protein that is involved in multiple signaling pathways and its functions are important to maintain the stemness of satellite cells in adults,» Kumar said. (sciencedaily.com)
When the signal WOX5 enters the stem cells through pores, it binds at specific DNA sequences, the promoters, of target genes and recruits an enzyme via a so - called adaptor protein. (sciencedaily.com)
