Official Full Name: suppressor of cytokine signaling 5
Also known as: CIS6; CISH6; Cish5; SOCS-5
The protein encoded by this gene contains an SH2 domain and a SOCS BOX domain. Thus, this protein belongs to the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family, also known as the STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) protein family. Members of the SOCS family are known to be negative regulators of cytokine-induced cytokine signaling. The exact function of this protein has not been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported.
