{"product_id":"cst-6580s","title":"CST,  6580S, SignalSilence® Stat3 siRNA I","description":"siRNA for studying STAT3 in the research area.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nCST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence ® Stat3 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use. Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nSignalSilence ® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nThe Stat3 transcription factor is an important signaling molecule for many cytokines and growth factor receptors (1) and is required for murine fetal development (2). Research studies have shown that Stat3 is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors (3,4) and possesses oncogenic potential (5) and anti-apoptotic activities (3). Stat3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding (6,7). Transcriptional activation seems to be regulated by phosphorylation at Ser727 through the MAPK or mTOR pathways (8,9). Stat3 isoform expression appears to reflect biological function as the relative expression levels of Stat3α (86 kDa) and Stat3β (79 kDa) depend on cell type, ligand exposure, or cell maturation stage (10). It is notable that Stat3β lacks the serine phosphorylation site within the carboxy-terminal transcriptional activation domain (8).\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800791011497,"sku":"6580S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-6580s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
