TEA Domain Transcription Factor (TEAD Family) (TEAD)

Target
TEAD
Molecular classification
Transcription factor
01

Overview

The TEA domain transcription factors (TEADs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate gene expression related to cell proliferation, development, and tumorigenesis. They bind DNA via the TEA domain and interact with cofactors like YAP/TAZ to activate transcription. Dysregulation of TEADs is implicated in various diseases, including cancer and vascular disease, making them therapeutic targets. Current strategies focus on disrupting YAP/TAZ-TEAD interaction with small-molecule inhibitors.
