UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: O14508 (O14508)
Gene Name:
SOCS2
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Substrate-recognition component of a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex, also named CRL5 complex), which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, such as EPOR and GHR (PubMed:11781573, PubMed:21980433, PubMed:25505247, PubMed:31182716, PubMed:34857742). Specifically recognizes and binds phosphorylated proteins via its SH2 domain, promoting their ubiquitination (PubMed:21980433, PubMed:25505247, PubMed:31182716, PubMed:34857742, PubMed:37816714). The ECS(SOCS2) complex acts as a key regulator of growth hormone receptor (GHR) levels by mediating ubiquitination and degradation of GHR, following GHR phosphorylation by JAK2 (PubMed:21980433, PubMed:25505247, PubMed:34857742). The ECS(SOCS2) also catalyzes ubiquitination and degradation of JAK2-phosphorylated EPOR (PubMed:11781573)
