    basic FUNCTION
  • tyrosine kinase, non receptor type, class III, involved in signal transduction of several hematopoietic cytokine receptors
  • playing a dual role with STAT1 and STAT3 in myogenic differentiation, participating in myoblast proliferation and actively repressing differentiation
  • ROCK1 and JAK1 signaling cooperate to control actomyosin contractility in tumor cells and stroma
  • nuclear import of JAK1 is essential for the optimal fitness of activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC DLBCL) cells
  • is a critical effector of pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling and plays important roles in immune function, while abnormal JAK1 activity has been linked to immunological and neoplastic diseases
  • essential role for JAK1 in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) homeostasis and stress responses
  • JAK1 is a key factor involved in the regulation of primordial follicle activation and maintenance of the ovarian reserve

    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • mediating activation of STAT proteins (STAT5)
  • associating with gamma chain of cytokine receptors
  • binding and inhibited by SOCS1
  • cooperation between PTPN2 deletion and activating JAK1 gene mutations in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • TJP2 associates with JAK1 in vascular smooth muscle cells via TJP2 N-terminal fragment, and JAK1 serves for tyrosine phosphorylation of TJP2 in VSMC
  • NK cell activation and secretion of IFNG1 results in activation of JAK1, JAK2 and STAT1 in tumor cells, resulting in rapid up-regulation of CD274 expression
  • CISH interacted with the tyrosine kinase JAK1, inhibiting its enzymatic activity and targeting JAK for proteasomal degradation (
  • SOCS1 negatively regulates IFNG1 signaling pathway (and other pathways) by directly inhibiting JAK1, JAK2
  • CLDN10 enhanced the metastatic phenotype of osteosarcoma (OS) cells via the activation of the JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway
