SOCS5
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOCS5 gene.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a SOCS BOX domain. The protein thus belongs to the suppressor of cytokine signaling family, also known as STAT-induced STAT inhibitor 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.
