DESCRIPTION

Also known as STAT3_HUMAN, STAT3, APRF. 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). Once activated, recruits coactivators, such as NCOA1 or MED1, to the promoter region of the target gene (PubMed:17344214). May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4 (PubMed:12873986). Upon activation of IL6ST/gp130 signaling by interleukin-6 (IL6), binds to the IL6-responsive elements identified in the promoters of various acute-phase protein genes (PubMed:12359225). Activated by IL31 through IL31RA (PubMed:15194700). 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 (PubMed:28065600). Involved in cell cycle regulation by inducing the expression of key genes for the progression from G1 to S phase, such as CCND1 (PubMed:17344214). 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 (PubMed:18242580). Cytoplasmic STAT3 represses macroautophagy by inhibiting EIF2AK2/PKR activity (PubMed:23084476). Plays a crucial role in basal beta cell functions, such as regulation of insulin secretion (By similarity). Forms a homodimer or a heterodimer with a related family member (at least STAT1) (PubMed:28065600). Interacts with IL31RA, NCOA1, PELP1, SIPAR, SOCS7, STATIP1 and TMF1 (PubMed:15994929, PubMed:15194700, PubMed:17344214, PubMed:15677474, PubMed:15467733) (By similarity). Interacts with IL23R in presence of IL23 (PubMed:12023369). Interacts (via SH2 domain) with NLK. Interacts with ARL2BP; the interaction is enhanced by LIF and JAK1 expression (By similarity). Interacts with KPNA4 and KPNA5; KPNA4 may be the primary mediator of nuclear import (By similarity). Interacts with CAV2; the interaction is increased on insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of CAV2 and leads to STAT3 activation (By similarity). Interacts with ARL2BP; interaction is enhanced with ARL2 (PubMed:18234692). Interacts with NEK6 (By similarity). Binds to CDK9 when activated and nuclear (PubMed:17956865). Interacts with BMX (PubMed:10688651). Interacts with ZIPK/DAPK3 (PubMed:16219639). Interacts with PIAS3; the interaction occurs on stimulation by IL6, CNTF or OSM and inhibits the DNA binding activity of STAT3 (PubMed:9388184). In prostate cancer cells, interacts with PRKCE and promotes DNA binding activity of STAT3 (PubMed:17875724). Interacts with STMN3, antagonizing its microtubule-destabilizing activity (By similarity). Interacts with the 'Lys-129' acetylated form of BIRC5/survivin (PubMed:20826784). Interacts with FER (PubMed:19147545). Interacts (via SH2 domain) with EIF2AK2/PKR (via the kinase catalytic domain) (PubMed:23084476). Interacts with INPP5F; the interaction is independent of STAT3 Tyr-705 phosphorylation status (PubMed:25476455). Interacts with FGFR4 (PubMed:26675719). Interacts with OCAD1 (By similarity). Interacts (unphosphorylated or phosphorylated at Ser-727) with PHB (PubMed:31899195). Interacts and may form heterodimers with NHLH1 (By similarity).
