Descripción
Sumario:WWTR1 (also called TAZ in publications. Therefore, TAZ is used in the following description) is a WW domaing-containing transcriptional coactivator, which was first identified as a 14-3-3 binding protein. TAZ is the downstream component in the Hippo pathway, and also has been found to interact with different pathways, such as Wnt, TGFbeta, etc. TAZ is involved in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation as well as tumorigenesis. High level of TAZ has been found in different cancers, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, etc.
