Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein sequestering activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; glial cell differentiation; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; negative regulation of neuron migration; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Located in plasma membrane. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hindlimb long bone. Used to study autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome 1 with recurrent infections; colorectal cancer; inflammatory bowel disease; peripartum cardiomyopathy; and psoriasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; arthritis (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3).
