What are scaffolding proteins?
A) microtubule arrays that allow lipid-soluble hormones to get from the cell membrane to the nuclear pores
B) large molecules to which several relay proteins attach to facilitate cascade effects
C) relay proteins that orient receptors and their ligands in appropriate directions to facilitate complex formation
D) proteins that enter the nucleus of a cell to regulate transcription

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scaffolding proteins are large molecules that provide a framework to which several relay proteins can attach to facilitate cascade effects. They do not necessarily orient receptors or regulate transcription, and they are not microtubule arrays.
