A study on the effect of Hippo pathway effector Yap (yes associated protein 1)/TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif) on the regulation of cancer cells on ferroptosis, a new programmed cell death, showed that EMP1 is a regulatory factor for TAZ to regulate the sensitivity of ferroptosis in renal cell carcinoma cells [75, 76]. Here, EMP1 is linked to cancer.
