Dispersed Chromosomal Stat5b-binding Elements Mediate Growth Hormone-activated Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Gene Transcription
8 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis regulates somatic growth during childhood and orchestrates tissue repair throughout the life span. Recently described inactivating mutations in Stat5b in humans with impaired growth have focused attention on this transcription factor as a key agent linking GH-stimulated signals to IGF-I gene expression, and several putative Stat5b sites have been...
