Upon stimulation, kinases such as JAKs phosphorylate Stat proteins, which can then dimerize via SH2 domains. Binding to importin allows translocation of phosphorylated Stat dimers into the nucleus, where they bind DNA and regulate transcription. Inhibitors of the Stat family of transcription factors have been found to affect various aspects of this pathway directly or indirectly.
