TEAD1 Protein, Human

TEA domain (TEAD) transcription factors are key components of the Hippo-YAP1 signaling pathway, a pathway involved in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway leads to the activation of YAP1 and further culminates in the development of multiple human cancers. Moreover, YAP1 interacted with TEAD1, exerted their transcriptional control of the functional target, glucose transporter 1 (Glut1). Overexpression of Glut1 restored the inhibitory effects of YAP1 knockdown on glycolysis as demonstrated by glucose consumption and lactate production. TEAD1 and TEAD4 are oncogenic factors, whose aberrant activation are, in part, mediated by the silence of miR-377-3p, miR-1343-3p and miR-4269.
