Anti-STAT1 (phospho-Tyr701) Antibody (43044) - 100μl

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are transcription factors that play important roles in signaling pathways induced by many different cytokines and growth factors that regulate cell growth and differentiation, the immune response, antiviral activity, and homeostasis. Their activation and mechanisms of action are examples of direct signaling to the nucleus by extracellular polypeptide ligands without the involvement of second messengers, tyrosine phosphorylation of transcription factors, or transcription factors that make direct contact with membrane-bound receptors and DNA. Since the discovery of STAT 1 and 2, the family has been expanded to seven members. Two alternatively spliced isoforms of STAT1 (p84 and p91) have been described.
