One of the four members of the Janus kinase family and plays a significant role in the signaling pathways of various cytokines and growth factors, particularly those involved in immune responses. Its involvement in cancer has been increasingly recognized, as dysregulation of JAK1 signaling can contribute to tumorigenesis and cancer progression.
JAK1 is primarily associated with the signaling of several key cytokines, including interleukins (e.g., IL-2, IL-6, IL-10) and interferons. These cytokines are crucial for immune responses, and their dysregulation can lead to inhibitors, such as those targeting JAK1 specifically, are being investigated in clinical trials for various malignancies, including solid tumors and hematological cancers. an environment that supports cancer growth.
