Stat3 - signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 Gene
Also Known as Aprf; 1110034C02Rik
Species: Mus musculus
About Stat3
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 133 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 21 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in lung adult (RPKM 48.1), mammary gland adult (RPKM 46.4) and 28 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to Cytokines and Growth Factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein is activated through phosphorylation in response to various Cytokines and Growth Factors including IFNs, EGF, IL5, IL6, HGF, LIF and BMP2. This protein mediates the expression of a variety of genes in response to cell stimuli, and thus plays a key role in many cellular processes such as cell growth and Apoptosis. The small GTPase Rac1 has been shown to bind and regulate the activity of this protein. PIAS3 protein is a specific inhibitor of this protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
