Suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOCS6 gene.The protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a CIS homolog domain. The protein thus belongs to the cytokine-induced STAT inhibitor (CIS) also known as suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) or STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) protein family. CIS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling.
