Gene information for JAK2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3717
Official gene symbolJAK2
Full nameJanus kinase 2
Aliases,JTK10,
Gene summaryThis gene product is a protein tyrosine kinase involved in a specific subset of cytokine receptor signaling pathways. It has been found to be constituitively associated with the prolactin receptor and is required for responses to gamma interferon. Mice that do not express an active protein for this gene exhibit embryonic lethality associated with the absence of definitive erythropoiesis. [provided by RefSeq]
