JAK3 specific kinase inhibitors: when specificity is not enough
Abstract
Janus kinases are important signaling proteins implicated in cytokine signaling. In particular, Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) has gained attention as a target for inhibition of the immune system, due to its importance for T and B cell development and function. In this issue however, Haan et al. (2011) show that inhibition of JAK3 activity may not be sufficient for this purpose.

Jak1 has a dominant role over Jak3 in signal transduction through γc-containing cytokine receptors.Chem Biol. 2011 Mar 25;18(3):314-23. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2011.01.012. Chem Biol. 2011. PMID: 21439476
