Gene: SOCS2
Official Full Name: suppressor of cytokine signaling 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. SOCS family members are cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine receptor signaling via the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activation of transcription pathway (the JAK/STAT pathway). SOCS family proteins interact with major molecules of signaling complexes to block further signal transduction, in part, by proteasomal depletion of receptors or signal-transducing proteins via ubiquitination. The expression of this gene can be induced by a subset of cytokines, including erythropoietin, GM-CSF, IL10, interferon (IFN)-gamma and by cytokine receptors such as growth horomone receptor. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) and is thought to be involved in the regulation of IGF1R mediated cell signaling. This gene has pseudogenes on chromosomes 20 and 22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

SOCS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines where the Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 2 (SOCS2) gene has been specifically inactivated through targeted genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 or TALEN. These engineered cell lines serve as a critical tool for studying the biological roles of SOCS2 in various cellular processes, including growth regulation, immune response modulation, and metabolic pathways.
The primary function of SOCS2 is to act as a negative regulator of cytokine signaling, interacting with the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathways. By knocking out SOCS2, researchers can observe the resulting effects on these signaling cascades, providing insights into its role in pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, and certain cancers. This mechanism allows for a comprehensive understanding of how SOCS2 influences cellular behavior in both normal physiological and disease states.
The scientific importance of SOCS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends across various fields, enabling researchers to investigate the implications of SOCS2 dysregulation in disease models. In clinical settings, these models can expedite the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at reversing the impact of SOCS2 loss, therefore contributing to advancements in precision medicine.
Compared to alternative approaches such as RNA interference (RNAi) or pharmacological inhibitors, SOCS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more stable and permanent alteration of the gene, facilitating long-term studies and more reliable data. Additionally, researchers can utilize these cell lines for high-throughput screening of drug candidates, enhancing the efficiency of drug discovery processes.
The value of SOCS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies not only in their ability to provide unparalleled insights into the biological significance of SOCS2 but also in their potential to influence therapeutic development and advance our understanding of complex diseases.
