NCIt definition : The 14-3-3 family of proteins mediates signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing
proteins. Two different binding motifs, RSXpSXP and RXY/FXpSXP, are present in nearly
all known 14-3-3 binding proteins. The 14-3-3 dimer binds tightly to single molecules
containing tandem repeats of phosphoserine motifs, implicating bidentate association
as a signaling mechanism with molecules such as Raf, BAD, and Cbl. (from OMIM);
