| Description | STAT1, also known as STAT1α, is a transcription factor and member of the STAT protein family with roles in innate and adaptive immunity.1 It is composed of an N-terminal domain that is essential to protein-protein interactions and dimerization, a DNA binding domain that facilitates nuclear import and export, as well as DNA binding, a linker domain, tail segment, and a transactivation domain that facilitates transcription of target genes.2 STAT1β is an isoform of STAT1 that is formed by alternative splicing and lacks the 38-amino acid transactivation domain.3 Upon phosphorylation by JAKs, STAT1 dimerizes and is translocated to the nucleus to activate transcription of IFN-γ-inducible genes.4 Because the C-terminal transactivation domain is required for STAT1 interaction with the transcriptional coactivator CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300 and gene transcription, STAT1β is considered a dominant-negative regulator of STAT1 and overexpression of STAT1β inhibits IFN-γ-induced gene expression in RAW 264.7 cells. STAT1β phosphorylation is increased and IFN-γ-induced JAK1, JAK2, and STAT1 activation is decreased in RAW 264.6 cells infected with L. major and L. mexicana parasites, as well as M. avium bacteria.4,5 STAT1β protein levels are reduced in patient-derived esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tumor samples and are positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, invasion, and shorter overall survival.3 Cayman’s STAT1β (human, recombinant) protein consists of 950 amino acids and has a calculated molecular weight of 111 kDa.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use. |
