Janus Kinase is a
A. Calcium channel
B. Protein that interacts with a receptor
C. A receptor
D. Ligand-gated ion channel
E. second messenger
Option B - PROTEIN THAT INTERACT WITH A RECEPTOR
Janus kinase is a group of enzymes hich contain JAK1,JAK2,JAK3,Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). it is situated inside teh cell and bounded to the receptor presnt on the cell mebrane
It forms the JAK - STAT Pathway.it is a signalling pathway
When cytokine bind with the cytokine receptor present on the cell membrane .Receptor dimerisationwill result in the activation of JAK phosphorylation of receptor ----->STAT bind with the phosphorylated receptor ---->JAK phosphorylate the STAT ---->STAT dimer is formed (it is a second messenger ) ---->STAT dimer moves towars the nucleus of the cell ----->Bind with the DNA strand and activate gene transcription
