Common name: signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A

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.
