Summary: Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity; transcription coactivator activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hippo signaling; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular protein metabolic process; kidney development; and negative regulation of fat cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human WWTR1 (WW domain containing transcription regulator 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Annotation information: Note: Some orthologs of Taz (Gene ID: 363521) and Wwtr1 (Gene ID: 295062), such as the human and mouse orthologs, share the Taz symbol/alias in common. Taz is a widely used alternative name for WW domain-containing transcription regulator protein 1 (Wwtr1), which can be confused with the official symbol for tafazzin (Taz). [20 Dec 2019]
Expression: Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 216.1), Lung (RPKM 209.1) and 9 other tissues See more

Mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain remain elusive. We have demonstrated recently that nerve injury can activate Wnt signaling, which becomes a trigger for the development of neuropathic pain. We report that transcriptional regulators YAP and TAZ, which orchestrate Wnt response via incorporation in the beta-catenin destruction complex, are key in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain and may serve as an "ON-OFF" s...

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.
