Description

SOCS2 is a member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family and is a cytokine-inducible negative regulator of cytokine receptor signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway. The SOCS2 protein interacts with IGF1 and GH receptors IGF1R and GHR [2175] as a negative regulator of GH signaling [2177]. The lack of SOCS2 expression in the high-growth mouse increases plasma IGF1, and reduces plasma and pituitary GH1 levels. Mutant mice exhibited a reduced mean and maximal lifespan compared to wild type [2178]. SOCS2 is also involved in several types of cancer [2179].
