Summary: Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and positive regulation of mitotic nuclear division. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; heart; lung; ovary; and skin.

RHOA loss reduces YAP signaling of the Hippo pathway and affects YAP effector epiregulin (EREG) expression in the crypts. Expression of an active YAP (S112A) mutant rescues ntestinal stem cells (ISCs) marker expression, ISC regeneration, and ISC-associated Wnt signaling, but not defective epithelial polarity, in RhoA knockout mice, implicating YAP in RHOA-regulated ISC function.

Collectively, these data indicate that Yap-induced Epiregulin signaling promotes the identity of submandibular gland ductal progenitors and that removal of nuclear Yap by Lats1/2-mediated signaling is critical for proper ductal maturation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
