Description
The protein MOB1 is considered to be one of the core components of the mammalian Hippo signaling pathway, which controls organ size and tumor growth by enhancing apoptosis. Loss of the encoded protein results in cell proliferation and cancer formation. The encoded protein is also involved in the control of microtubule stability during cytokinesis. MOB1A and MOB1B, which have 95% sequence identity, play redundant biological roles and are both termed MOB1.
