PE anti-YAP1 Antibody, Yap1, W19260A,BioLegend,603654

Yes-associated protein 1, or YAP1, is a transcriptional co-activator vital to cell proliferation and the regulation of apoptosis. YAP1 does not contain a DNA-binding domain and requires interaction with transcriptional factors, particularly TEA domain (TEAD) proteins, to regulate transcription. YAP1 is continuously shuttled between the nucleus, where it is primarily located when Hippo signaling is inactive, and the cytoplasm, where it is sequestered following phosphorylation of its various serine residues by the LATS1/2-MOB1 complex of the Hippo pathway or by kinases AKT, PRP4K, and CDK1. As a key effector of the Hippo signaling pathway along with its paralog TAZ, YAP1 is essential to the regulation of cell growth, stem cell maintenance, organ size, tissue homeostasis, regeneration, embryonic development, and the preservation of genome integrity following DNA damage. YAP1 also functions in the modulation of aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis pathways as well as amino acid metabolism. YAP1 can act as a tumor suppressor, usually through its interaction with p53 family proteins and promotion of apoptosis, but most commonly functions as an oncogene. Its overexpression and deregulation are characteristic of several cancers and it has been implicated in the initiation, proliferation, metastasis, metabolic reprogramming, immune escape, and therapy resistance of cancer cells. As such, YAP1 is a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker.
