label: YDYVHL Motif
label_lc: ydyvhl motif
description: "YDYVHL (tyrosine-aspartic acid-tyrosine-valine-histidine-leucine) is a preferred substrate sequence by focal adhesion kinase.  The phosphorylated YDYVHL containing protein recruits src family kinases, which can then phosphorylate other tyrosine residues within the peptide. (NCI)"
