About Jak1
This gene encodes a membrane protein that is a member of a class of protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK) characterized by the presence of a second phosphotransferase-related domain immediately N-terminal to the PTK domain. The encoded kinase phosphorylates STAT proteins (signal transducers and activators of transcription) and plays a key role in interferon-alpha/beta, interferon-gamma, and cytokine signal transduction. This gene plays a crucial role in effecting the expression of genes that mediate inflammation, epithelial remodeling, and metastatic cancer progression. This gene is a key component of the interleukin-6 (IL-6)/JAK1/STAT3 immune and inflammation response and is a therapeutic target for alleviating cytokine storms. The kinase activity of this gene is directly inhibited by the suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 (SOCS1) protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

About Alexa Fluor 750
Alexa Fluor™ 750 (AF750, Alexa 750) has an excitation peak at 749 nm and an emission peak at 775 nm, and is spetrally similar to Cy®7 (GE Healthcare), APC-Fire™ 750 (BioLegend), CF®®750 (Biotium), DyLight™ 750 (ThermoFisher Scientific), iFluor® 750 (ATT Bioquest) and iFluor® 790 (ATT Bioquest). Alexa 750 is often used as a tandem fluorophore in flow cytometry or used on its own in fluorescence microscopy, in-vivo fluorescence microscopy or super-resolution microscopy applications.
