suppressor of cytokine signaling 4; SOCS-4 (SOCS4)

Function

• 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 ubiquitination & subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (putative)
• protein modification; protein ubiquitination

Structure

• the SOCS box domain mediates the interaction with the elongin BC complex, an adapter module in different E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes (putative)
• contains 1 SH2 domain
• contains 1 SOCS box domain

More general terms

• suppressor of cytokine signaling family (SOCS family protein)
