Human YAP1 mRNA encodes the human Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator (YAP1) protein, a downstream nuclear effector of the Hippo signaling pathway which is involved in development, growth, repair, and homeostasis. YAP1 is known to play a role in the development and progression of multiple cancers as a transcriptional regulator of this signaling pathway and may function as a potential target for cancer treatment.
