Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOCS3 gene.This gene encodes a member of the STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) also known as suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. SSI family members are cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The expression of this gene is induced by various cytokines including IL6 IL10 and interferon (IFN)-gamma.
