| Primary Identifier | IPR028421 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | SOCS6 |
| description | Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. However, SOCS6 does not interact with cytokine signaling intermediate molecules or inhibit cytokine receptor signaling. SOCS6 can interact with c-KIT, a receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates the cellular response to stem cell factor (SCF). SOCS6 has ubiquitin ligase activity toward c-KIT and regulates c-KIT protein turnover in cells, suppressing c-KIT-dependent pathways []. SOCS6 negatively regulates receptor tyrosine kinase Flt3 activation, the downstream Erk signaling pathway, and cell proliferation []. |
