Direct glucocorticoid receptor-Stat5 interaction in hepatocytes controls body size and maturation-related gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

The glucocorticoid receptor regulates transcription through DNA binding as well as through cross-talk with other transcription factors. In hepatocytes, the glucocorticoid receptor is critical for normal postnatal growth. Using hepatocyte-specific and domain-selective mutations in the mouse we show that Stat5 in hepatocytes is essential for normal postnatal growth and that it mediates the growth-promoting effect...
