Jak/STAT Signaling Pathway

The "Jak/STAT Signaling Pathway" refers to a fundamental intracellular signaling cascade used by cells to transmit information from the surface of the cell to the nucleus, ultimately affecting gene expression and regulating a wide range of biological processes. The pathway is named after two key components: Janus Kinases (Jaks) and Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs).
