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
