STAT5A

STAT5A

A gene on chromosome 17q11.2 that encodes a member of the STAT family of transcription factors, which are phosphorylated by receptor-associated kinases in response to cytokines and growth factors. The STAT5A protein product is activated by and mediates the responses of many cell ligands, such as IL2, IL3, IL7 GM-CSF, erythropoietin, thrombopoietin and various growth hormones.

Molecular pathology
STAT5A activation in myeloma and lymphoma and TEL/JAK2 gene fusion is essential for tumourigenesis.

Li, PhD, a professor in the Department of Medicine at UC San Diego, reported that a particular form of a signaling protein called STAT5A stabilizes the formation of heterochromatin (a form of chromosomal DNA), which in turn suppresses the ability of cancer cells to issue instructions to multiply and grow.
When we expressed either HP1 (the central component of heterochromatin) or unphosphorylated STAT5A in human cancer cells, many genes important for cancer growth are suppressed.
