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 essential for mediating responses to IL12 in lymphocytes, and regulating the differentiation of T helper cells. Mutations in this gene may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: Carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription. Involved in IL12 signaling. |STAT alpha| |STAT int| |SH2| |STAT bind| |interleukin-21-mediated signaling pathway| |response to interleukin-21| |cellular response to interleukin-21| |interleukin-23-mediated signaling pathway| |interleukin-35-mediated signaling pathway| |receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT| |receptor signaling pathway via STAT| |interleukin-12-mediated signaling pathway| |cellular response to interleukin-12| |response to interleukin-12| |response to peptide hormone| |DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |response to peptide| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |cytokine-mediated signaling pathway| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |response to hormone| |response to organonitrogen compound| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |identical protein binding| |response to nitrogen compound| |response to cytokine| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |defense response| |response to endogenous stimulus| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp189|Temozolomide 200μM R04 exp189]]|1.93| |[[:results:exp176|Apcin 50 to 100μM on day4 R04 exp176]]|2.1| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
