Immune system gene: STAT6 mediates immune signaling in response to cytokines at the plasma membrane and to virus infection at the endoplasmic reticulum. Mice lacking Stat6 were susceptible to virus infection. Chen et al. (2011) (PMID: 22000020).

PMID: 21762972 found that STAT6 increases viral replication in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (chronic inflammatory skin disease) with a history of eczema herpeticum.
