    Summary
    Enables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; kinase binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including R8 cell development; epithelial cell differentiation; and regulation of cell development. Located in cytosol; lateral cell cortex; and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; cortical zone of lymph gland primary lobe; crystal cell primordium; embryonic/larval crystal cell; and embryonic/larval optic stalk. Used to study cancer (multiple); heart disease; nephrolithiasis; and neurodegenerative disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in uveal coloboma-cleft lip and palate-intellectual disability. Orthologous to several human genes including YAP1 (Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
