Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.2.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including axial skeleton; cranium; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and thymus primordium. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); genital herpes; and scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human STAT4 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 4).
