Rabbit anti-Human SOCS7 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O14512

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SOCS7

Target Full Name

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 7

Target Function

Regulates signaling cascades probably through protein ubiquitination and/or sequestration. Functions in insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis through IRS1 ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Inhibits also prolactin, growth hormone and leptin signaling by preventing STAT3 and STAT5 activation, sequestering them in the cytoplasm and reducing their binding to DNA. May be a substrate recognition component of a SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Nucleus. Note=Mostly cytoplasmic, but shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Rapidly relocalizes to the nucleus after UV irradiation. Cytoplasmic location depends upon SEPT7 presence.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in brain and leukocytes. Also in fetal lung fibroblasts and fetal brain.

Target Background

Predicted to enable 1-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidylinositol phosphate biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; fat cell differentiation; and insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol.
