Phospho-YAP (Ser127) Recombinant Rabbit mAb (S-1364-28)

Phospho-YAP (Ser127) is a phosphorylated form of the Yes-associated protein (YAP), which is a key transcriptional coactivator in the Hippo signaling pathway. YAP regulates various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and organ size. The phosphorylation of YAP at serine 127 by kinases such as MST1/2 and LATS1/2 leads to its inactivation and cytoplasmic retention. When dephosphorylated, YAP can translocate to the nucleus and promote gene transcription. For example, androgen exposure can suppress the inhibitory phospho-Ser127 modification on YAP, resulting in increased YAP nuclear abundance and activity. This regulation is crucial for understanding the role of YAP in diseases like cancer.
