The proteins in this family contain typical structures for adaptor proteins, such as Pleckstrin homology in the N-terminal regions and SRC homology 2 domains in the central regions. STAP proteins bind to inhibitor of kappaB kinase complex, breast tumor kinase, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and STAT5, during tumorigenesis and inflammatory/immune responses. STAP proteins positively or negatively regulate critical steps in intracellular signaling pathways through individually unique mechanisms. This article reviews the roles of the novel STAP family and the possible therapeutic applications of targeting STAP proteins in cancer.The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan日本薬学会2021-12-01engjournal articleVoRhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/87612https://doi.org/10.1248/bpb.b21-00672348532630918-61581347-5215Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin441218101818https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/87612/1/20230104_2.pdfapplication/pdf3.1 MB2021-12-01
