title: [Structure and function of the adapter protein Gab and its role in the development of tumor, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: Gab proteins, Grb2 (growth factor receptor binding protein 2)-associated binder, are important scaffolding adapter proteins required by many signaling pathways. In mammals, the Gab proteins mainly consist of Gab1, Gab2 and Gab3, and are involved in the amplification and integration of signal transduction evoked by a variety of extracellular stimuli, including various growth factors and cytokines. They are known to play key roles in many biological processes through the two classical signal pathways, SHP2/RAS/ERK and PI3K/AKT. In this review, we provide an overview of the structure and function of the scaffolding adapter, Gab, with a special focus on its role in tumor, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases.
