Human STAT3 Protein, His Tag (MALS & SPR verified)

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) regulates the expression of genes important for essential cellular processes including survival, proliferation, self-renewal, angiogenesis, and immune response. As an early tumor diagnostic marker, it is considered that constitutive STAT3 activation is a sufficient factor to cause malignant transformation and tumor development in model systems. The classical IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway in cancer cells. IL-6 binds to the membrane-bound IL-6 receptor α (IL-6R) and IL-6 receptor β (also known as gp130) . The IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 complex activate the phosphorylation of JAKs, followed by STAT3 phosphorylation and activation. Then, phosphorylated STAT3 forms a homodimer and translocates into the nucleus to bind to the promotor region of target genes and activates target gene transcription.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 66.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 66-70 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) .

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
