UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: SOCS7_HUMAN (O14512)
Gene Name: SOCS7
Synonyms: NAP4, SOCS6
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
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 (By similarity).

Protein Subcellular Localization: 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 SEPT
