Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; cell surface receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; and defense response to symbiont. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of macrophage fusion; and response to exogenous dsRNA. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and skeletal musculature. Used to study breast cancer and severe acute respiratory syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adenocarcinoma (multiple); breast carcinoma; immunodeficiency 31A; immunodeficiency 31B; and immunodeficiency 31C. Orthologous to human STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1).
