YY1AP1 : YY1 associated protein 1
Description
The YY1AP1 gene, also known as YAP1, encodes a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. This protein acts as a transcriptional coactivator, interacting with various transcription factors and influencing the expression of numerous genes. YY1AP1 is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and development. Its dysregulation has been linked to various diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
