Gab-1 is a multisubstrate docking protein downstream in the signaling pathways of different receptor tyrosine kinases, including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It appears to play a crucial role in cellular growth response, transformation, and apoptosis. Experimental data indicates that Gab1 coupling to the Met receptor requires binding of Grb2 and correlates with the transforming potential of Tpr- Met.
