STAT1, Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1-alpha/beta, Transcription factor ISGF-3 components p91/p84
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.
