這個基因編碼河馬信號通路的下游核效應器，它參與發育、生長、修復和體內平衡。已知該基因在多種癌癥的發展和進展中發揮作用，作為該信號通路的轉錄調節因子，并可能作為癌癥治療的潛在靶點發揮作用。選擇性剪接導致編碼不同亞型的多個轉錄變體。
This gene encodes a downstream nuclear effector of the Hippo signaling pathway which is involved in development, growth, repair, and homeostasis. This gene is known to play a role in the development and progression of multiple cancers as a transcriptional regulator of this signaling pathway and may function as a potential target for cancer treatment. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
