One of the main candidates promoting YAP nuclear localisation is the Src family kinases (Cordero et al,2014; Kim & Gumbiner, 2015; Elbediwy et al,2016; Li et al,2016; Si et al,2017), which can also become activated in wild‐type or Apc mutant intestine (Cordero et al,2014) via inflammatory cytokine signalling or experimentally induced colitis (Taniguchi et al,2015; Taniguchi et al,2017; Yui et al,2018). This evidence concerns the gene APC and colitis.
