    GlossaryYAP/TAZ signaling

    pathway controlling cell growth and development through specific proteins

    YAP/TAZ signaling refers to a pathway in cells that helps control how they grow, divide, and develop. YAP (Yes-associated protein) and TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif) are proteins that move into the cell nucleus to turn on genes that promote cell growth and survival. This pathway is crucial in processes like tissue regeneration and can be involved in diseases such as cancer when it becomes dysregulated.
