Proteins of Chromosome 19 JAK3-Janus Kinase: This protein is imporatant to signaling in the immune system. This protein becomes phosphoralated, and then phosphoralates other proteins such as STATS which controls gene expression. DMPK-Dystrophia Myotonica: This protein encodes for protein kinase, which adds phosphate to groups of proteins. This protein regulates muscle development and function. APOE: The product of this protein is Apolipoprotein E. Apolipoprotein E is a transport protein that carries fat and cholesterol from blood to the liver (Chromosome Browser).
