    The two generations of JAK inhibitors currently on the market mainly inhibit JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3, but there are still some potential side effects
    in both the first and second generations.
    For example, a generation of tofacitinib and so on has "pan JAK" phenomenon, second-generation upatinib and so on have a risk
    of thrombosis.

    As a result, many companies have turned their attention to TYK2
    , which is also a member of the JAK kinase family.
    TYK2 is involved in a variety of cytokines IL-23, IL-12, and type I IFN and mediates downstream STAT phosphorylation
    .

    as a key regulator of cytokine signaling pathways in a variety of immune-mediated diseases such as psoriasis.
