Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1

UniProtKB accession:  P23458

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Tyrosine kinase of the non-receptor type, involved in the IFN-alpha/beta/gamma signal pathway (PubMed:8232552, PubMed:7615558, PubMed:28111307, PubMed:32750333, PubMed:16239216). Kinase partner for the interleukin (IL)-2 receptor (PubMed:11909529) as well as interleukin (IL)-10 receptor (PubMed:12133952). Kinase partner for the type I interferon receptor IFNAR2 (PubMed:8232552, PubMed:7615558, PubMed:28111307, PubMed:32750333, PubMed:16239216). In response to interferon-binding to IFNAR1-IFNAR2 heterodimer, phosphorylates and activates its binding partner IFNAR2, creating docking sites for STAT proteins (PubMed:7759950). Directly phosphorylates STAT proteins but also activates STAT signaling through the transactivation of other JAK kinases associated with signaling receptors (PubMed:8232552, PubMed:16239216, PubMed:32750333).
