Anti-SOCS1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1(SOCS1), also known as Jak-binding protein(JAB), is a negative regulator to a subset of protein-tyrosine kinases. This 211-amino acid protein has a molecular mass of about 23.5 kD. The TEC-binding region of SOCS1 resides in the N terminus. SOCS1 associates with Tec and suppresses its kinase activity. The SOCS1 gene is intronless and is mapped to on chromosome 16p13.13. SOCS1 regulates the JAK/STAT signal-transduction pathway. Moreover, it contributes to protection against hepatic injury and fibrosis, and may also protect against hepatocarcinogenesis. Protein function: SOCS family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. SOCS1 is involved in negative regulation of cytokines that signal through the JAK/STAT3 pathway. Through binding to JAKs, inhibits their kinase activity. In vitro, also suppresses Tec protein- tyrosine activity. Appears to be a major regulator of signaling by interleukin 6 (IL6) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Regulates interferon-gamma mediated sensory neuron survival. Probable substrate recognition component of an ECS (Elongin BC-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Seems to recognize JAK2. SOCS1 appears to be a negative regulator in IGF1R signaling pathway. [The UniProt Consortium]
