14-3-3 z is a member of a conserved family of proteins that interact with hundreds of different proteins and thus mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. 14-3-3 z is localized mostly on dense granules and is secreted after platelet activation. The protein is highly abundant in brain. The protein act as an activators of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases. Human 14-3-3 z gene is located on chromosome 8q23.1, which is close to a probable bipolar disorder susceptibility locus 8q24.
