Facts about Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2.
The phosphorylated STATs dimerize, associate with IRF9/ISGF3G to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to trigger the transcription of interferon stimulated genes, which drive the mobile in an antiviral state (PubMed:9020188, PubMed:23391734).
