adaptor protein(English)
- contains a variety of protein-binding modules that link protein-binding partners together and facilitate the creation of larger signaling complexes. Specificity in signaling would be achieved by the type of protein binding modules encoded by the adaptor protein, the sequence of these domains or motifs that would dictate specificity in binding, as well as the subcellular localization and the proximity of binding partners. Thus, adaptor proteins are positioned to regulate cell signaling in a spatial and temporal fashion

autoimmune psychosis(English)
- a specific autoantibody-mediated disease, in particular for those patients with both affective and non-affective psychoses. Biomarkers of inflammation are consistent with increased permeability of the blood–brain barrier with neurovascular unit abnormalities that could initiate brain infiltration of immune cells or other inflammatory mediators. Typical clinical signs are the acute onset of paranoid hallucinatory symptoms, atypical polymorphic presentation, psychotic episodes in the context of previous episodes, and additional neurological and medical symptoms such as catatonia, seizure, dyskinesia, and autonomic instability
