The role of scaffold proteins in JNK signalling

Cell Prolif. 2010 Feb;43(1):56-66. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2184.2009.00654.x. Epub 2009 Nov 17.

Abstract

This paper summarises how scaffold proteins affects and regulate the JNK signalling pathway. We believe that some of these scaffold proteins, by virtue of their anchoring and catalytic properties contribute to a high degree of specificity of intra cellular signalling pathways that regulate the progression through the cell cycle.
