| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein homodimerization activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hormone stimulus; glial cell differentiation; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; negative regulation of glycolytic process; and retinal rod cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hindlimb long bone. Used to study colorectal cancer; inflammatory bowel disease; and peripartum cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); hyper IgE recurrent infection syndrome 1; reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die at embryonic day 6.5-7.5. Conditional, tissue specific mutants are variably viable and show diverse defects including obesity, diabetes, thermal dysregulation and infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
