YAP1 and glomerular disorder: Gene expression analysis in the podocytes further indicated that overexpressed YAP upregulated ECM constituents (i.e., COL6A1, BCAM, and ADAMTS1) and growth factor-related proteins (i.e., PLOD2, PDAP1, and PRMT5), which changed the mechanical properties of the glomerular basement membrane, a prognostic marker of glomerular disease progression.
