    blocks enzyme activity to regulate immune function and cell growth

    A JAK2 inhibitor is a type of medication that blocks the activity of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), an enzyme involved in the signaling pathways that regulate immune function and cell growth. By inhibiting JAK2, these drugs can help manage conditions like certain cancers, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory disorders, and they are also being explored for treating alopecia areata, a condition that causes hair loss.
