It functions as a component of the Hippo signaling pathway where it helps regulate cell proliferation apoptosis and organ size. LATS2 shows expression in various tissues with notable levels in the lung heart and liver. Its role in these tissues makes it an important target for research in cancer and developmental biology.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nLATS2 plays an important role in cell cycle regulation and tumor suppression. LATS2 forms part of the core kinase complex within the Hippo pathway working closely with other proteins like MST1\/2 kinases and Scaffold proteins SAV1. Through phosphorylation LATS2 can inhibit the activity of YAP and TAZ transcription co-activators promoting cell contact inhibition and proper tissue architecture. Its activity is important for limiting excessive cell growth and ensuring accurate cell division.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nLATS2 integrates into the Hippo signaling pathway and influences the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Within the Hippo pathway LATS2 interacts with MST1\/2 forming an upstream kinase complex activating through phosphorylation of downstream transcription co-activators YAP and TAZ. These interactions result in the transcriptional regulation of genes controlling cell growth and apoptosis. Overlap with the PI3K-AKT pathway links LATS2 to cellular processes related to growth migration and survival providing a critical nexus that communicates cell status and environmental cues.\u003cbr\u003e\nLATS2 has associations with both cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. In cancer dysregulation of LATS2 activity can result in aberrant cell growth and tumor development often noted in different types of carcinomas where it can act as a tumor suppressor. Mutations or reduced expression of LATS2 can correlate with increased cancer progression implying a need for comprehensive understanding of its regulation and function. Additionally in cardiac hypertrophy LATS2 contributes to cardiac cell size regulation and its imbalance can connect to abnormal heart muscle thickening. In these contexts LATS2 interaction with proteins such as YAP and TAZ provides an important point of interest for therapeutic interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845184245929,"sku":"ab286564","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab286564","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
