BackgroundThis gene codes for a non-receptor tyrosine kinase crucial in cytokine and growth factor signaling. The primary isoform holds an N-terminal FERM domain for erythropoietin receptor interaction, an SH2 domain for STAT transcription factor binding, a pseudokinase domain, and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Cytokine binding triggers autophosphorylation, activating the kinase. This enzyme recruits and phosphorylates STAT proteins, while growth factors like TGF-beta 1 also activate it, relocating downstream STAT proteins to the nucleus to impact gene transcription. Mutations in this gene link to inflammatory diseases and malignancies. It's a target of the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 pathway, playing a role in cellular proliferation and myeloproliferative neoplasms. A mutation in its pseudokinase domain leads to constitutive activity and cytokine hypersensitivity. This gene and the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 pathway are therapeutic targets for managing excessive inflammatory responses. Multiple transcript variants exist due to alternative splicing.
