TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) is a transcription factor and member of the TEA domain-containing family of transcription factors.1 It is composed of an N-terminal TEA DNA-binding domain, a hydrophobic proline-rich domain, and a C-terminal cofactor-binding domain (CBD), which binds TAZ, YES-associated transcriptional regulator (YAP), vestigial-like proteins (VGLLs), and several other cofactors. Lipidation of the TEAD1 CBD increases TAZ- or YAP-dependent transcriptional activity.2 TEAD1 is expressed in late embryonic development and adult tissues.3 It is involved in the Hippo signaling pathway, which regulates embryonic and organ development, proliferation, and cell death.1 TEAD1 is specifically involved in cardiomyocyte and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, myogenesis, gliosis, osteoclastogenesis, and progenitor stemness, among other processes.4,5 TEAD1 containing a tyrosine-to-histidine mutation at position 421 (TEAD1Y421H) is associated with Sveinsson’s chorioretinal atrophy.6 Increased nuclear tumor levels of TEAD1 are associated with decreased disease-free survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).7 Cayman’s TEAD1 Cofactor-Binding Domain (human, recombinant) protein can be used for binding assays.
