Preferred Names: Ste50p

NP_009898.1

Adaptor protein for various signaling pathways; involved in the mating response, invasive/filamentous growth and osmotolerance; acts as an adaptor that links the G protein-associated Cdc42p-Ste20p complex to the effector Ste11p to modulate signal transduction; localizes to cortical patches at the site of shmoo initiation, facilitating polarity establishment, and remaining at the shmoo tip during mating
