The signaling mechanism of the JAK/STAT pathway. When cytokines bind to transmembrane receptors, receptor-associated JAKs are activated, which then phosphorylate STAT proteins. Activation of STAT proteins forms homo- or heterodimers that are transferred to the nucleus and regulate gene transcription. The JAK/STAT pathway is negatively regulated through SOCS and PIAS.
