RT Journal Article ID 4b5994521758a911 A1 Engelmann, Swen A1 Togni, Mauro A1 Kliche, Stefanie A1 Reinhold, Dirk A1 Schraven, Burkhart A1 Reinhold, Annegret T1 The Adhesion- and Degranulation-Promoting Adaptor Protein and Its Role in the Modulation of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis JF Critical Reviews™ in Immunology JO CRI YR 2015 FD 2015-02-20 VO 35 IS 1 SP 1 OP 14 K1 EAE K1 CNS K1 autoimmunity K1 adaptor protein K1 ADAP AB Adaptor proteins mediate protein−protein interactions in signal transduction cascades. These signaling molecules are organized in multimolecular complexes that translate information from cell surface receptors into cellular responses. The cytosolic adhesion- and degranulation-promoting adaptor protein (ADAP) is expressed in T cells, natural killer cells, myeloid cells, and platelets. Here we summarize the data about the function of ADAP in these cells with respect to their contribution to the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We discuss possible mechanisms of strongly attenuated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in ADAP-deficient mice.
