Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner (By similarity). Binds with varying affinity to various synthetic phosphopeptides having a consensus binding motif RSX(pS/pT)XP, called mode-1, where X is any residue and pS/pT is a phosphorylated serine/threonine, and to synthetic phosphopeptides having a consensus binding motif Xp(S/T)X1-2-COOH, called mode-3, in which the phosphorylated residue occupies the penultimate C-terminal position in the target protein, but does not bind to their unphosphorylated counterparts (PubMed:19733174). Binds to synthetic human RAF1 phosphopeptides, but not to their unphosphorylated forms. Binds to difopein, a polypeptide containing a phosphorylation-independent binding motif (PubMed:16368691, PubMed:19733174). Involved in encystation (PubMed:19733174). Involved in cell proliferation. Required for actin and tubulin cytoskeletal organization. Regulates actin filament formation and nuclear size (PubMed:28932813).
