Gene information for SOCS5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9655
Official gene symbolSOCS5
Full namesuppressor of cytokine signaling 5
Aliases,CIS6,CISH6,Cish5,KIAA0671,SOCS-5,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a SOCS BOX domain. The protein thus belongs to the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family, also known as STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) protein family. SOCS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding an identical protein have been reported. [provided by RefSeq]
