STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) is the founding member of the STAT family, which in humans consists of seven members. It contains a Src-homology-2-(SH2) domain, and when activated forms homodimers. This gene is localized to human chromosome locus 2q32.2-q32.3.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) is involved in upregulating genes due to a signal by either type I, type II, or type III interferons. STAT1 may be a target for therapeutic treatment to restore apoptotic mechanisms and sensitivity to chemotherapy. P-STAT1 is a potential predictor of interferon (IFN) response for advanced renal cell carcinoma. Mutations in the gene is associated with death at an early age due to overwhelming viral infection (complete STAT1 deficiency).
