Abstract excerpt
YAP is a multifunctional adapter protein and transcriptional coactivator with several binding partners well described in vitro and in cell culture. To explore in vivo requirements for YAP, we generated mice carrying a targeted disruption of the Yap gene. Homozygosity for the Yap(tm1Smil) allele (Yap-/-) caused developmental arrest around E8.5. Phenotypic characterization revealed a requirement for YAP in yolk sac...
