    GlossarySignal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3)

    protein involved in cell signaling and gene expression regulation

    Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell signaling, helping to transmit signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. It is involved in various cellular processes, including growth, survival, and immune response. When activated, STAT3 can promote the expression of specific genes that drive these processes, and its dysregulation is often linked to diseases such as cancer and inflammatory conditions.
