Harmonizome 3.0

signal transducer and activator of transcription 6, interleukin-4 induced

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein plays a central role in exerting IL4 mediated biological responses. It is found to induce the expression of BCL2L1/BCL-X(L), which is responsible for the anti-apoptotic activity of IL4. Knockout studies in mice suggested the roles of this gene in differentiation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells, expression of cell surface markers, and class switch of immunoglobulins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

mesoderm induction early response 1, family member 3

Predicted to enable histone deacetylase binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Implicated in breast cancer and lung adenocarcinoma. Biomarker of breast cancer; invasive ductal carcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

mesoderm induction early response 1, transcriptional regulator

This gene encodes a protein that was first identified in Xenopus laevis by its role in a mesoderm induction early response (MIER). The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional regulator. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encode multiple isoforms, some of which lack a C-terminal nuclear localization signal. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

mesoderm induction early response 1, family member 2

Enables histone deacetylase binding activity. Contributes to histone deacetylase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
