Background: STAT3

Human STAT-3/STAT3a (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; also called APRF) is a 90-95 kDa member of the STAT family of transcription factors. It is 770 amino acids (aa) in length, contains one SH2 domain (aa 580-670), and is found in almost all cell types. STAT3 mediates gp130, LIF-R, OB-R, IL10-R and EGFR signaling. Upon activation, receptors such as gp130 phosphorylate STAT3 at Ser727, which results in transcriptional activation. Phosphorylation at Tyr705 mediates homo- and hetero-dimerization with STAT1 and nuclear translocation, and is an important event in oncogenic transformation. The STAT3b isoform shows a six aa substitution for aa 716-770, thus eliminating the Ser727 site. Human and mouse STAT3a share 99% aa sequence identity.
