Function
Signal transducer and activator of transcription that mediates signaling by type I IFNs (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) Following type I IFN binding to cell surface receptors, Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) are activated, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. The phosphorylated STATs dimerize, associate with ISGF3G/IRF-9 to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of interferon stimulated genes, which drive the cell in an antiviral state
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near N-terminus of human Stat-2 was used as immunogen. This antibody detects both long and short forms of Stat-2.
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Translocated into the nucleus upon activation by IFN-alpha/beta
