STAT2 (signal transducer and activator of transcription #2) is a 98kD member of the STAT family of cytoplasmic transcription factors.
STAT members generally mediate cytokine, growth factor and hormone receptor signal transduction.
STAT2 is associated with type I (α− and β--) interferon signaling.
All STATs contain an N-terminal oligomerization domain, a DNA-binding domain, and an SH2-association region.
STAT2 is phosphorylated at Y689 by receptor-associated Janus kinases (JAKs) leading to STAT2 dimerization and subsequent translocation to the nucleus to activate gene transcription.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Flow Cytometry.
