Loss of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 leads to hepatosteatosis and impaired liver regeneration†
19 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Growth hormone controls many facets of a cell's biology through the transcription factors Stat5a and Stat5b (Stat5). However, whole body deletion of these genes from the mouse does not provide portentous information on cell-specific cytokine signaling. To explore liver-specific functions of Stat5, the entire Stat5 locus was deleted in hepatocytes using Cre-mediated recombination. Notably, Stat5-mutant...
