Monoclonal Anti-YAP1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blotting and co-immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) promotes cell and tissue growth. It interacts with receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (ErbB4) receptor and regulates transcription. YAP1 is an oncogenic protein and contributes to tumor progression. It is highly expressed in hedgehog-associated medulloblastomas and mutations in YAP1 is also implicated in optic fissure closure defects. Knockdown of YAP1 gene has been shown to lead to apoptosis of prostate cancer cells and is considered as a potential target for treatment.

General description

This gene encodes the human ortholog of chicken YAP protein which binds to the SH3 domain of the Yes proto-oncogene product. This protein contains a WW domain that is found in various structural, regulatory and signaling molecules in yeast, nematode, and mammals, and may be involved in protein-protein interaction. (provided by RefSeq)

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a transcriptional coactivator. It possesses two WW domains, a TID domain (TEA domain family member 1 transcription factor interacting-domain), sarcoma homology 3 domain (SH3) binding motif, a proline rich region and a PDZ motif. It is expressed in eight isoforms. The YAP1 gene is localized on human chromosome 11q22.1.
