Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription. Mediates cellular responses to the cytokine KITLG/SCF and other growth factors. Mediates cellular responses to ERBB4. May mediate cellular responses to activated FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Binds to the GAS element and activates PRL-induced transcription. Regulates the expression of milk proteins during lactation. .
Scientific background (datasheet): STAT5 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5) also known as STAT5A, MGF, is a protein that serve the dual function of signal transducers and activators of transcription in cells exposed to signaling polypeptides. Hou et al. (1995) cloned the human STAT5 cDNA from an umbilical vein endothelial cell library and found that it encodes a 794-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted mass of approximately 90.5 kD. To analyze the possible role of STAT5 in human GH-induced proliferation, Friedrichsen et al. (2001) expressed a dominant-negative STAT5 mutant, STAT5A-delta-749, in INS-1 cells under the control of a doxycycline-inducible promoter by stable transfection. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed binding of STAT5 to the HIF2A promoter 344 bp upstream of the HIF2A start site. STAT5 overexpression independently resulted in erythroid commitment in megakaryocytic-erythroid progenitors, which was abrogated by knockdown of GATA1. STAT5 is responsible for the immediate-early induction of the long isoform of the BCL2-related protein in erythroid cells through binding to the promoter of the BCLX gene.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Translocated into the nucleus in response to phosphorylation.
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely expressed. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the transcription factor STAT family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Nuclear Signaling,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway,Transcription.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
