Most cancer cells were negative or displayed weak cytoplasmic positivity. Many hepatocellular and prostate cancers along with a few cases of urothelial cancers displayed moderate immunoreactivity.
Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in cancer tissues.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SOCS5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CIS6, Cish5, CISH6, KIAA0671, SOCS-5
Description
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a SH2 domain and a SOCS BOX domain. The protein thus belongs to the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family, also known as STAT-induced STAT inhibitor (SSI) protein family. SOCS family members are known to be cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding an identical protein have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
