Abstract
In previous chapters we discussed the properties of each of the classes of proteins involved in the JAK-STAT pathway. Armed with this information, it is now appropriate to move on to a discussion of the pathway itself. In doing so, the pathway has been stripped of any of the loose ends which inevitably adorn a cellular mechanism of such recent discovery. We are aware that, in discussing only the general principles of the JAK-STAT pathway, we are presenting an incomplete picture. However, this, combined with the material in chapter 9, presents an idea of how the JAK-STAT pathway blends into the overall view of signal transduction in mammalian cells.
