Structural highlights
Function
STAT3_MOUSE Signal transducer and transcription activator that mediates cellular responses to interleukins, KITLG/SCF and other growth factors. May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Binds to the interleukin-6 (IL-6)-responsive elements identified in the promoters of various acute-phase protein genes. Activated by IL31 through IL31RA. STAT3B interacts with the N-terminal part of JUN to activate such promoters in a cooperative way.[1]
