Protein Information
Description
Protein function:
Tyrosine kinase of the non-receptor type, involved in the interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 signaling pathway. Phosphorylates STAT6, IRS1, IRS2 and PI3k
Catalytic activity:
ATP + a protein tyrosine = ADP + protein tyrosine phosphate
Subcellular location:
Wholly intracellular, possibly membrane associated (by similarity)
Post-translational modification:
Tyrosine phosphorylated in response to IL-2 and IL-4
Alternative products:
3 isoforms; 1/JAK3b/breast-JAK3, 2/JAK3s/spleen-JAK3 and 3/JAK3m/activated monocytes-JAK3; are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 may be defective as it lack some part of the kinase domain
