Description

signal transducer and activator of transcription 3

Gene Summary

Enables CCR5 chemokine receptor binding activity; nuclear glucocorticoid receptor binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of hydrogen peroxide biosynthetic process; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to cytokine stimulus. Located in cytosol; mitochondrial inner membrane; and nucleus. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Used to study several diseases, including duodenal ulcer; hyperuricemia; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; obesity; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of atherosclerosis; colon cancer; colorectal carcinoma; heart disease; and pre-malignant neoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); hyper IgE recurrent infection syndrome 1; reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
