GenAge entry for STAT5B (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 21)

HGNC symbol: STAT5B
Aliases
Common name: signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B

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: STAT5B is an important player in the activation of transcription and intracellular signalling. Mice with disrupted STAT5B and STAT5A, 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 STAT5B a possible, albeit unproven, player in human ageing and age-related disease [266].
