Introduction Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) 3 is an oncogenic transcription factor found constitutively activated in several tumours, where it exerts its functions both as a canonical transcription factor and as a non-canonical regulator of energy metabolism and mitochondrial functions. These two activities rely on different post-translational activating events; the phosphorylation on Y705 is involved in nuclear activities, while that on S727 is relevant for mitochondrial functions. Mitochondrial STAT3 increases aerobic glycolysis and decreases ROS production, partly by interacting with the Electron Transfer Complexes (ETC).
