YDYVHL Motif

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid Sequence

**Definition:** 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)

**Synonyms:** - YDYVHL Domain
