Gene information for SOCS6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9306
Official gene symbolSOCS6
Full namesuppressor of cytokine signaling 6
Aliases,CIS4,HSPC060,SOCS4,SSI4,STAI4,STATI4,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a CIS homolog 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 GM-CSF and EPO in hematopoietic cells. A high expression level of this gene was found in factor-independent chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and erythroleukemia (HEL) cell lines. [provided by RefSeq]
