Signal transducing adaptor protein
TYPE OF PROTEIN INVOLVED IN CELL SIGNALLING
Adaptor proteins, signal transducing; Adaptor molecules; Adapter molecule; Adaptor molecule
Signal transducing adaptor proteins (STAPs) are proteins that are accessory to main proteins in a signal transduction pathway. Adaptor proteins contain a variety of protein-binding modules that link protein-binding partners together and facilitate the creation of larger signaling complexes.
Color Graphics Adapter
<hardware, graphics> (CGA) One of IBM's earliest hardware
video display standards for use in IBM PCs. CGA can
display 80*25 or 40*25 text in 16 colors, 640*200 pixels of
graphics in two colors or 320*200 in four colors (IBM PC video
modes 0-6). It is now obsolete.

Enhanced Graphics Adapter
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an IBM PC graphics adapter and de facto computer display standard from 1984 that superseded the CGA standard introduced with the original IBM PC, and was itself superseded by the VGA standard in 1987. In addition to the original EGA card manufactured by IBM, many compatible third-party cards were manufactured, and EGA graphics modes continued to be supported by VGA and later standards.
