STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3) is one of seven of a family of homologous STAT proteins that differentially regulate gene expression. STAT 3 is important in both the development of embryos and many functions in adult organisms | STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3) is one of seven of a family of homologous STAT proteins that differentially regulate gene expression.
