Summary

PMID 8943351

[Homo sapiens] STAT2 is part of STAT-containing transcription factor, the alpha-interferon-induced ISGF3, that is composed of a STAT1:2 heterodimer and a weak DNA-binding protein, IRF9.

PMID 16689942

[Homo sapiens] STAT2 is a critical transactivator component of the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex that drives the expression of many interferon (IFN)-inducible genes.

PMID 23391734

[Homo sapiens] A loss-of-function mutation in STAT2 is associated with increased susceptibility to childhood viral diseases.

PMID 26335850

[Mus musculus] Transcriptional activation of Adar by IFN occurs in the absence of Stat1 by a non-canonical Stat2-dependent pathway.

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000170581:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. In response to interferon (IFN), this protein forms a complex with STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor family protein p48 (ISGF3G), in which this protein acts as a transactivator, but lacks the ability to bind DNA directly. Transcription adaptor P300/CBP (EP300/CREBBP) has been shown to interact specifically with this protein, which is thought to be involved in the process of blocking IFN-alpha response by adenovirus. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
