Type: | Family | Name: | Suppressor of cytokine signalling 4 |
Description: | SOCS family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. SOCS4 (Suppressor of cytokine signalling 4) is the substrate-recognition component of a SCF-like ECS (Elongin BC-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins []. SOCS4 and SOCS5 regulate epidermal growth factor receptor signaling []. | Short Name: | SOCS4 |
