Function

Signal transducer and transcription activator that mediates cellular responses to interleukins, KITLG/SCF, LEP and other growth factors (PubMed:10688651, PubMed:12359225, PubMed:12873986, PubMed:15194700, PubMed:15653507, PubMed:16285960, PubMed:17344214, PubMed:18242580, PubMed:18782771, PubMed:22306293, PubMed:23084476, PubMed:28262505, PubMed:32929201, PubMed:38404237). Once activated, recruits coactivators, such as NCOA1 or MED1, to the promoter region of the target gene (PubMed:15653507, PubMed:16285960, PubMed:17344214, PubMed:18782771, PubMed:28262505, PubMed:32929201). May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4 (PubMed:12873986). Upon activation of IL6ST/gp130 signaling by interleukin-6 (IL6), binds to the IL6-responsive elements identified in the promoters of various acute-phase protein genes (PubMed:12359225). Activated by IL31 through IL31RA (PubMed:15194700). Acts as a regulator of inflammatory response by regulating differentiation of naive CD4(+) T-cells into T-helper Th17 or regulatory T-cells (Treg): acetylation promotes its transcription activity and cell differentiation while deacetylation and oxidation of lysine residues by LOXL3 inhibits differentiation (PubMed:28065600, PubMed:28262505). Involved in cell cycle regulation by inducing the expression of key genes for the progression from G1 to S phase, such as CCND1 (PubMed:17344214). Mediates the effects of LEP on melanocortin production, body energy homeostasis and lactation (By similarity). May play an apoptotic role by transctivating BIRC5 expression under LEP activation (PubMed:18242580). Cytoplasmic STAT3 represses macroautophagy by inhibiting EIF2AK2/PKR activity (PubMed:23084476). Plays a crucial role in basal beta cell functions, such as regulation of insulin secretion (By similarity). Following JAK/STAT signaling activation and as part of a complex with NFATC3 and NFATC4, binds to the alpha-beta E4 promoter region of CRYAB and activates transcription in cardiomyocytes (By similarity).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) also called p-stat3 or phospho-STAT3 is a critical transcription factor involved in various cellular processes. The molecular weight of STAT3 is approximately 92 kDa. This protein is expressed broadly across many tissues and cell types. Mechanically upon cytokine or growth factor stimulation STAT3 undergoes phosphorylation resulting in dimerization. This phosphorylated form often referred to as phospho-Stat3 or p-STAT3 translocates to the nucleus where it binds specific DNA sequences to modulate gene transcription.

Biological function summary

STAT3 is an important player in regulating cell growth and apoptosis. It functions not only as a transcription factor but also as part of a larger protein complex that operates within the cell nucleus to influence gene expression. This multifaceted role enables STAT3 to control the expression of genes related to cell proliferation survival and differentiation impacting various biological processes. These functions highlight its importance in tissue homeostasis and response to extracellular signals.

Pathways

STAT3 is actively involved in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway a principal route for many cytokines and growth factors and the MAPK pathway. STAT3 interacts with proteins such as JAK kinases which phosphorylate Stat3 and initiate the STAT3 signaling cascade. Additionally it closely associates with the protein Raf1 in the MAPK pathway linking external signals to transcriptional responses. These pathways play a significant role in immune response inflammation and growth signaling.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers have implicated STAT3 in cancer and autoimmune diseases. Persistent activation of STAT3 is often observed in various cancers including breast and lung cancer promoting oncogenesis through altered gene expression. Additionally abnormal STAT3 signaling is associated with autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. The interplay between STAT3 and proteins like IL-6 in these diseases highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for intervention.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab119352 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 20 for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab119352, 0.1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) ab150113) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG (Mouse IgG - Isotype Control ab37355, 0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.
