Adaptor proteins are cell signalling proteins, which enable the continued transduction of a cell signal[1]. These proteins usually bridge a gap between two other proteins in the signalling pathway allowing the continued propagation of the signal to give rise to a cellular response[2].
An example of an adaptor protein would be in the Grb-2 adaptor protein that bridges the gap between the Ras GEF and phosphorylated tyrosines in the Ras signalling pathway[3] .
