Signal Transducer 6 antibody, also known as STAT6 antibody, recognizes Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 6, a cytokine-responsive transcription factor encoded by the human STAT6 gene located on chromosome 12q13.3. STAT6 is a member of the STAT family of latent cytoplasmic transcription factors that mediate signal transduction from cell surface cytokine receptors to the nucleus. In resting cells, STAT6 is primarily localized in the cytoplasm and translocates to the nucleus upon activation. Signal Transducer 6 antibody is widely used in research focused on IL-4 and IL-13 signaling pathways and type 2 immune responses.
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 6 plays a central role in T helper 2 cell differentiation and allergic inflammation. Upon binding of interleukin-4 or interleukin-13 to their respective receptor complexes, associated Janus kinases phosphorylate STAT6 on a conserved tyrosine residue. Phosphorylated STAT6 dimerizes via its SH2 domain and translocates to the nucleus, where it binds specific DNA response elements to regulate genes involved in IgE class switching, mucus production, chemokine expression, and immune cell recruitment. A Signal Transducer 6 antibody supports investigation of cytokine-driven transcriptional regulation and immune signaling networks.
Structurally, STAT6 contains conserved STAT family domains including an N-terminal domain, coiled-coil domain, DNA-binding domain, linker region, SH2 domain, and a C-terminal transactivation domain. These domains coordinate receptor recruitment, dimerization, DNA binding, and transcriptional activation. Through these structural features, STAT6 integrates extracellular cytokine cues into gene expression programs that influence lymphocyte differentiation, macrophage polarization, and epithelial responses.
STAT6 expression is detected in T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and select epithelial tissues under cytokine stimulation. Aberrant STAT6 activation has been implicated in asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other allergic disorders. In tumor research, nuclear STAT6 expression has been studied in specific soft tissue neoplasms and other malignancies, where its localization may reflect altered signaling pathways. Signal Transducer 6 antibody enables evaluation of STAT6 expression and subcellular localization in diverse research models.
Clone STAT6/12798 is designed to recognize STAT6 for research applications. This antibody targets STAT6 in research settings and supports studies of cytokine signaling, immune regulation, and inflammatory disease biology.
Optimal dilution of the Signal Transducer 6/STAT6 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment (around amino acids 600-801) of human STAT6 protein (exact sequence is proprietary) was used as the immunogen for the Signal Transducer 6/STAT6 antibody.
Signal Transducer 6/STAT6 antibody with sodium azide - store at 2 to 8oC; antibody without sodium azide - store at -20 to -80oC.
