Family of intracellular tyrosine kinases Janus kinase (JAK) is a family of intracellular, non-receptor tyrosine kinases that transduce cytokine-mediated signals via the JAK-STAT pathway. They were initially named just another kinase 1 and 2 (since they were just two of many discoveries in a PCR-based screen of kinases),[1] but were ultimately published as Janus kinase. The name is taken from the two-faced Roman god of beginnings, endings and duality, Janus, because the JAKs possess tw...
