DESCRIPTION

Also known as SOCS5_MOUSE, Socs5, Cish5. SOCS family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. May be a 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. Inhibits for instance EGF signaling by mediating the degradation of the EGF receptor/EGFR. Involved in the regulation of T-helper cell differentiation by inhibiting of the IL4 signaling pathway which promotes differentiation into the Th2 phenotype. Can also partially inhibit IL6 and LIF signaling. Interacts with EGFR. Interacts with ELOB and ELOC; mediates EGFR ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Interacts with IL4R; inhibits IL4 signaling.
