General annotation (Comments)

Function	Carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription. Involved in IL12 signaling.
Subunit structure	Forms a homodimer or a heterodimer with a related family member. Interacts with ARL2BP By similarity. The SH2 domain interacts, in vitro, with IL12RB2 via a short cytoplasmic domain. Ref.4 Ref.5
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Translocated into the nucleus in response to phosphorylation.
Post-translational modification	Tyrosine phosphorylated. Serine phosphorylation is also required for maximal transcriptional activity By similarity.
Involvement in disease	Genetic variations in STAT4 are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 11 (SLEB11) [MIM:612253]. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a complex genetic basis. SLE is an inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. Ref.7 Genetic variations in STAT4 are a cause of susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [MIM:180300]. It is a systemic inflammatory disease with autoimmune features and a complex genetic component. It primarily affects the joints and is characterized by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Ref.7
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the transcription factor STAT family. Contains 1 SH2 domain.
