Gene information for CISH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1154
Official gene symbolCISH
Full namecytokine inducible SH2-containing protein
Aliases,CIS,CIS-1,G18,SOCS,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a SOCS box domain. The protein thus belongs to the cytokine-induced STAT inhibitor (CIS), also known as suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) or STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI), protein family. CIS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The expression of this gene can be induced by IL2, IL3, GM-CSF and EPO in hematopoietic cells. Proteasome-mediated degradation of this protein has been shown to be involved in the inactivation of the erythropoietin receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
