Anti-SOCS 2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the SOCS 2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SOCS2 gene, which encodes suppressor of cytokine signaling 2. This protein is known to function in intracellular signal transduction and the regulation of apoptosis, among other biological roles. The human version of SOCS 2 has a canonical amino acid length of 198 residues and a protein mass of 22.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be widely expressed in many tissue types.
