    GlossaryJAK3 Inhibitor (Janus Kinase 3 Inhibitor)

    blocks an enzyme involved in immune response and inflammation

    A JAK3 Inhibitor, also known as a Janus Kinase 3 Inhibitor, is a type of medication that blocks the activity of the JAK3 enzyme. This enzyme is involved in the signaling pathways that regulate immune responses and inflammation. By inhibiting JAK3, these drugs can help treat autoimmune diseases and conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
