STATs (signal transducing activators of transcription) are mediators involved in cytokine signaling. Being the principle substrates of JAK kinases, phosphorylated STATs form head-to-tail homodimers. In response to a specific cytokine signal, STATs move to the nucleus and induce transcription. STAT6 is activated primarily by IL-4 and IL-13.
