14-3-3 proteins are a family of highly conserved proteins that appear to have multiple roles in cell signaling. The proteins are abundantly expressed in the brain and have been detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with different neurological disorders. 14-3-3 proteins bind protein ligands that are typically phosphorylated on serine or threonine residues and regulate the functions of these binding partners by a number of different mechanisms. The14-3-3 proteins affect a diverse array of cellular processes including the cell cycle and transcription, signal transduction and intracellular trafficking. (1-4)
