STAT1

A gene on chromosome 2q32.2 that encodes a member of the STAT family of transcription factors, which are phosphorylated by receptor-associated kinases in response to cytokines and growth factors. The STAT1 protein product is activated by IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, EGF, PDGF and IL6; it mediates the expression of various genes, which is important for cell viability in response to different cell stimuli and pathogens.

After stimulation with cytokines (e.g., IFN-[gamma]), STAT1 molecules are phosphorylated, dimerized, and translocated into the nucleus for gene expression and then dephosphorylated and released to the cytoplasm [12].
