Yes‐associated protein 1 and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ‐binding motif activate the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 pathway by regulating amino acid transporters in hepatocellular carcinoma

Metabolic activation is a common feature of many cancer cells and is frequently associated with the clinical outcomes of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, aberrantly activated metabolic pathways in cancer cells are attractive targets for cancer therapy. Yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ‐binding motif (TAZ) are oncogenic downstream effectors of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway,...
