Lats2 promotes heart failure by stimulating p53-mediated apoptosis during pressure overload

Abstract The Hippo pathway plays a wide variety of roles in response to stress in the heart. Lats2, a component of the Hippo pathway, is phosphorylated by Mst1/2 and, in turn, phosphorylates YAP, causing inactivation of YAP. Lats2 stimulates apoptosis and negatively affects hypertrophy in cardiomyoc...
