Abstract
The STAT3 transcription factor is an important signaling molecule for many cytokines and growth factor receptors and is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors and possesses oncogenic potential and anti-apoptotic activities. STAT3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding. Western blot is most commonly used to detect the activation of STAT3 by using an antibody that is specific for the phosphorylated tyrosine705.
