Description
This gene encodes encodes a suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family member, and it belongs to the subfamily of proteins containing a central SPRY (repeats in splA and RyR) domain and a C-terminal SOCS box. This gene is present in a gene-rich cluster on chromosome 12p13 in the vicinity of the CD4 antigen and triosephosphate isomerase genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants
