... splicing variant of STAT5A,STAT5A_DE18, from a cDNA library of the mousebrainstem. The variant protein was generated by aframeshift in the C-terminal region, resulting in dele-tion of the ... 793 amino acid protein composed of aa-helical coiled-coil domain, a DNA-binding domain, an SH2 domain, and a C-terminal transactivation domain. The deletion of exon 18 (52 bp) in the STAT5A_DE18 ... splicing, suggesting that these variants areinvolved in specific functions. The physiological role of STAT5A_DE18 may involve the regulation of STAT5function in the brainstem, considering that...
