Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in cellular response to growth factor stimulus; growth hormone receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on taurine metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of defense response; and positive regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon adenocarcinoma; colorectal adenocarcinoma; growth hormone insensitivity syndrome with immune dysregulation 1; and growth hormone insensitivity syndrome with immune dysregulation 2. Orthologous to human STAT5B (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B).
