Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1

UniProt P23458 Organism Homo sapiens Gene JAK1, JAK1A, JAK1B EC 2.7.10.2

Also known as: JAK1, JAK1A, JAK1B

Function

Non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates signal-transducing subunits of cytokine receptor complexes like IL2RB, IL10RA, IFNAR2, IL6ST, LIFR, OSMR and IL31RA. Functionnally, is involved in the IFN-alpha/beta/gamma signal pathway. Mechanistically, in response to interferon-binding to IFNAR1-IFNAR2 heterodimer, phosphorylates and activates its binding partner IFNAR2, creating docking sites for STAT proteins. Directly phosphorylates STAT proteins but also activates STAT signaling through the transactivation of other JAK kinases associated with signaling receptors. Involved in the MT-RNR2/humanin-mediated signaling pathway leading to STAT3 phosphorylation. Binding of CNTF or the CLCF1/CLF heterodimer to CNTFR leads to IL6ST/gp130-LIFR dimerization followed by activation of JAK1 and JAK2 which in turns phosphorylate IL6ST/gp130 and LIFR. The tyrosine phosphorylated signaling receptors serve in turn as docking proteins for STAT3. Involved in the oncostatin-M-mediated signaling pathway through both type I OSM receptor complex (heterodimers composed of LIFR and IL6ST) and type II OSM receptor complex (heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL6ST). Involved in the oncostatin-M-mediated signaling pathway through both type I OSM receptor complex (heterodimers composed of LIFR and IL6ST) and type II OSM receptor complex (heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL6ST). Involved in the Interleukin-31-mediated signaling pathway through the IL31 receptor complex (heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL31RA).
