Background: YAP1

The transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein (YAP), also known as Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), Yes-Associated Protein YAP65 Homolog, Protein Yorkie Homolog and YAP65 has a theoretical molecular weight of 65 kDa. The YAP1 gene encodes the human ortholog of chicken YAP protein which binds to the SH3 domain of the Yes proto-oncogene product. YAP1 shares homology with the WW domain of transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), which functions as a transcriptional co-activator by binding to the PPXY motif present in transcription factors and is likely involved in protein-protein interaction. YAP has been identified as a core regulatory mechanism that blocks mammalian glial cell proliferation and cellular reprogramming following damage (1).

YAP plays a role in the development and progression of multiple cancers as a transcriptional regulator of the Hippo signaling pathway. YAP1 encodes a nuclear effector of the Hippo signaling pathway which is involved in development, growth, repair, and homeostasis to play a pivotal role in controlling cell growth and organ size and has emerged as a key player in tumor suppression (2,3). Deregulation of the Hippo pathway causes tumor formation and malignancy, with YAP being a key oncogenic driver in liver carcinogenesis (2) and may function as a potential target for cancer treatment (3).
