AffiAB® SOCS-1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI), also known as suppressor of Cytokine signaling (SOCS), family. SSI family members are cytokine-inducible negative regulators of Cytokine signaling. The expression of this gene can be induced by a subset of cytokines, including IL2, IL3 erythropoietin (EPO), CSF2/GM-CSF, and interferon (IFN)-gamma. The protein encoded by this gene functions downstream of Cytokine receptors, and takes part in a negative feedback loop to attenuate Cytokine signaling. Knockout studies in mice suggested the role of this gene as a modulator of IFN-gamma action, which is required for normal postnatal growth and survival. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
