Phosphatidic acid: a lipid regulator of the Hippo pathway

Mol Cell Oncol. 2018 Dec 30;6(1):1558683. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2018.1558683. eCollection 2019.

Abstract

The Hippo pathway, a signaling pathway highly conserved across species, plays a crucial role in organ size control and cancer suppression. Our recent study shows that phosphatidic acid can regulate the Hippo pathway through a physical lipid-protein interaction, providing additional insights into the Hippo-related tissue homeostasis and cancer development.
