STAT3 [ENSP00000264657]

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; Signal transducer and transcription activator that mediates cellular responses to interleukins, KITLG/SCF, LEP and other growth factors (PubMed:10688651, PubMed:12359225, PubMed:12873986, PubMed:15194700, PubMed:17344214, PubMed:18242580, PubMed:23084476, PubMed:31462771). Once activated, recruits coactivators, such as NCOA1 or MED1, to the promoter region of the target gene . May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4 . Binds to the interleukin-6 (IL-6)-responsive elements identified in the promoters of various acute-phase protein genes . Activated by IL31 through IL31RA . Acts as a regulator of inflammatory response by regulating differentiation of naive CD4(+) T-cells into T-helper Th17 or regulatory T-cells (Treg): deacetylation and oxidation of lysine residues by LOXL3, leads to disrupt STAT3 dimerization and inhibit its transcription activity . Involved in cell cycle regulation by inducing the expression of key genes for the progression from G1 to S phase, such as CCND1 . Mediates the effects of LEP on melanocortin production, body energy homeostasis and lactation (By similarity). May play an apoptotic role by transctivating BIRC5 expression under LEP activation . Cytoplasmic STAT3 represses macroautophagy by inhibiting EIF2AK2/PKR activity . Plays a crucial role in basal beta cell functions, such as regulation of insulin secretion (By similarity).
