Question

What are scaffolding proteins? what are scaffolding proteins? ladderlike proteins that allow receptor-ligand complexes to climb through cells from one position to another proteins that can reach into the nucleus of a cell to affect transcription microtubular protein arrays that allow lipid-soluble hormones to get from the cell membrane to the nuclear pores relay proteins that orient receptors and their ligands in appropriate directions to facilitate their complexing large molecules to which several relay proteins attach to facilitate cascade effects?

Answer 1

The correct answer is "large molecules to which several relay proteins attach to facilitate cascade effects". 

The main role of the scaffolding protein is to act as a "scaffold" and bring two or more proteins in a stable configuration to make stable protein complexes that can act their function without the risk of instability. These proteins primarily help in the signaling mechanisms between cells as they form communicative junctions between proteins.
