Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

Like STAT5B, STAT5A is an important player in the activation of transcription and intracellular signalling. Mice with disrupted STAT5A and STAT5B, though short-lived due to numerous other deficiencies, exhibit phenotypes similar to those observed in GHR knockout mice in that they are 20%-40% smaller than controls with signs of disrupted GH1 functions such as lower IGF1 levels [1892]. Absence of Stat5 from pancreatic beta-cells in mice has no discernable impact on islet development and function in young animals, however, Stat5 appears to be an important component in beta-cell function in older mice [3666]. Its relation to other proteins that may be involved in ageing make STAT5A a promising subject of research in gerontology [266], though it is not known whether it plays a role in human ageing.
