Scaffold proteins

Scaffold proteins are specialized molecules that act like organizational hubs within cells. They gather and hold together multiple enzymes and signaling molecules, ensuring these components are in close proximity. This coordination improves the efficiency and accuracy of cellular processes, such as transmitting signals or coordinating reactions. By bringing necessary parts together, scaffold proteins help cells respond quickly and precisely to various stimuli, maintaining proper function and communication within the cell. Essentially, they serve as molecular organizers that streamline complex biological tasks.
