65 kDa Yes-associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the YAP1 gene.

This gene encodes the human ortholog of chicken YAP protein which binds to the SH3 domain of the Yes proto-oncogene product. This protein contains a WW domain that is found in various structural, regulatory and signaling molecules in yeast, nematode, and mammals, and may be involved in protein-protein interaction.

Interactions

YAP1 has been shown to interact with Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7, ERBB4, Sodium-hydrogen antiporter 3 regulator 1, TP53BP2 and P73.
