Definitions:

Scaffold Proteins

Proteins that mediate the assembly of other proteins into complex multi-enzyme units, facilitating signal transduction and other cellular processes.

Signaling Kinases

Enzymes that transfer phosphate groups from high-energy molecules to specific substrates, playing a critical role in cell signaling pathways.

Signaling Complexes

Assemblies of proteins and other molecules that work together to transmit and amplify signals within and between cells.

Signal Amplification

A process in cellular communication where the number of signaling molecules or their effect is greatly increased, enhancing the response to a signal.
