Gene: SOCS4

Alternate names for this Gene: SOCS7

Gene Summary: 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 (SOCS), also known as STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI), protein family. SOCS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q22.3

Description of this Gene: suppressor of cytokine signaling 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
