SOCS2, CIS2, SSI2, STATI2, Suppressor of cytokine signaling 2, SOCS-2, Cytokine-inducible SH2 protein 2, CIS-2, STAT-induced STAT inhibitor 2, SSI-2
SOCS family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. SOCS2 appears to be a negative regulator in the growth hormone/IGF1 signaling pathway.
