Gene Information

human ... YAP1(10413)

General description

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a transcriptional coactivator and has two WW domains (two conserved tryptophans), TID domain (TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD) transcription factor interacting domain), proline rich region, sarcoma homology 3 domain (SH3) binding motif and post synaptic density protein (PSD95), Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor (Dlg1), and zonula occludens-1 protein motif (PDZ). It is expressed in eight isoforms. The gene YAP1 is mapped to human chromosome 11q22.1.

Immunogen

Yes-associated protein 1

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) interacts with the src family kinase c-Yes by its SH3 binding motif and with protein 73 using WW motif. YAP promotes cell and tissue growth. YAP1 interacts with Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (ErbB4) receptor and regulates transcription. YAP is oncogenic and contributes to tumor progression. Phosphorylation of YAP is critical for regulating apoptosis. YAP1 levels are elevated in human cancers. It is highly expressed in hedgehog-associated medulloblastomas. Mutations in YAP1 is also implicated in optic fissure closure defects. Knockdown of YAP1 gene impacts on prostate cancer progression and is considered as potential target for treatment.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
