STAT6

STAT6 is a protein inside cells that acts as a messenger in your immune system. When certain immune signals, called cytokines, like IL-4 and IL-13, bind to receptors on immune cells, they activate STAT6. Once activated, STAT6 moves to the cell nucleus and helps turn on genes that promote allergic responses and defense against parasites. It plays a key role in managing immune reactions related to allergies and asthma, making it an important target for understanding and treating these conditions.
