General description

JAK3 is a member of the JAK family of tyrosine kinases involved in cytokine receptor-mediated intracellular signal transduction. Low levels of JAK3 expression is detected in immature hematopoietic cells, which dramatically increases during terminal differentiation of these cells suggesting a role of JAK3 in the differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Mutations in JAK3 are associated with autosomal SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency disease). Mice lacking JAK3 show a severe block in B-cell development at the pre-B stage in bone marrow suggesting that JAK3 is critical for the progression of B-cell development in the bone marrow.
