Suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOCS2 gene.This gene encodes a member of the STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) also known as suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) family. SSI family members are cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The expression of this gene can be induced by a subset of cytokines including erythropoietin GM-CSF IL10 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).
