Anti-YAP Antibody detects endogenous levels of total YAP protein.
Yes associated protein (YAP) is a 65kDa proline-rich phosphoprotein. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11q22.1. The encoded protein is characterized with a WW domain, a PDZ interaction motif, an SH3 binding motif and a coiled-coil domain.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human YAP.
Immunogen Range: 93-142
Biochem/physiol Actions
Yes associated protein (YAP) serves as a potent mechanosensitive transcriptional activator. It plays a vital role in regulation of cancer, regeneration and organ size. Overexpression of the gene contributes to tumorigenesis in breast and liver cancers. In addition, it also promotes gallbladder cancer (GBC) cell growth via activating AXL receptor tyrosine kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Thus, it acts as a potent biomarker and therapeutic target for various cancers including, GBC and breast cancer.

The transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), a key regulator of cell proliferation and organ size in vertebrates, has been implicated in various malignancies. However, little is known about the expression and biological function of YAP1 in human gallbladder cancer
