How to control latex TickLabel FontSize?

I'm trying to make a fraction into a tick label. This
set(gca, 'TickLabelInterpreter', 'latex', 'YTickLabel', {'$\frac{a}{b}$'})
puts the fraction where I want it, but it's very very small.
This
set(gca, 'TickLabelInterpreter', 'latex', 'YTickLabel', {'$\frac{a}{b}$'}, 'FontSize',20)
makes the tick label have the size I want, but also increases the title and axes labels, which become way too big.
How can I change the size of the tick label, and nothing else?

Two methods
Set FontSize property
figure()
ax = gca();
set(ax, 'TickLabelInterpreter', 'latex', 'YTickLabel','$\frac{a}{b}$')
ax.YAxis.FontSize = 16;
ylabel('Default label size','FontSize', ax.FontSize)
xlabel('Default label size')
Set FontSize in Latex command
To preserve normalized FontUnit behavior, you can set the fontsize directy in the Latex command. Now, when you change the figure size the title, axis labels, and ticks will resize. However, the ticks may not adjust as they would when you set the axis fontsize property.
figure()
ax = gca();
set(ax, 'TickLabelInterpreter', 'latex', 'YTickLabel', '\fontsize{16}{0}$\frac{a}{b}$')
title('title')
ylabel('xlabel')
xlabel('ylabel')
ax.FontUnits='normalized';
