I'm currently studying the role of STAT1 in the immune system, specifically its interaction with interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). I'm wondering if STAT1 itself can be considered an ISG.

STAT1 plays a crucial role in the regulation of IFN-α-induced ISG expression.

Without STAT1, the induction of ISGs by IFN-α is abolished.
