Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3)

Target
STAT3
Molecular classification
Transcription factor
01

Overview

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression involved in cell growth, survival, differentiation, and immune responses. It is activated by cytokines and growth factors, and dysregulation of STAT3 is implicated in various diseases including cancer and immune disorders.

Other names
Acute-phase response factorAPRF
02

Mechanism of action

STAT3 inhibitors (small molecules, oligonucleotides) aim to block STAT3 phosphorylation, dimerization, DNA-binding, or transcriptional activity.
