YWHAB belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which are in charge for signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. YWHAB is found in both plants and mammals. YWHAB protein interacts with RAF1 and CDC25 phosphatases,thus linking mitogenic signaling and the cell cycle machinery. YWHAB is an adapter protein involved in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathway. YWHAB binds to a large number of proteins by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner Synonyms: 14-3-3 protein beta/alpha, Protein kinase C inhibitor protein 1, Protein 1054, YWHAB, HS1, GW128, KCIP-1, Tyr-3/Trp- 5 Monooxygenase Activation Protein Beta, 14-3-3 Beta
