STAT - Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription
STAT (Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription) are mediators involved in cytokine signaling. STAT3 is a key signaling molecule for many cytokine and growth-factor receptors, and is required for murine fetal development. STAT3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation and DNA binding. Additionally, STAT3 is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors and possesses oncogenic potential and anti-apoptotic activities. Consequently, STAT3 has been identified as a target for cancer drug discovery and therapeutic intervention.
