Question
Chapter 6.4, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To determine: How a signaling pathway can be affected if a scaffold protein of that pathway is missing.
Concept introduction: Signal transduction is the process of conversion of an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal. It involves a cascade of molecules that transfers the information.
