    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal SH2 domain, was responsible for the binding to vinexin (likely one of the SH3 domains of vinexin interacts with a poly-proline region of SOCS7)
  • a central region containing several proline-rich regions

    basic FUNCTION
  • potent regulator of glucose homeostasis and insulin signaling
  • inhibits prolactin, growth hormone, and leptin signaling by interacting with STAT5 or STAT3 and attenuating their nuclear translocation
  • shuttling protein that transports cytoplasmic proteins into the nucleus and contributes to cell cycle arrest
  • SOCS7 is involved in the regulation of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) signaling in mast cells
  • SOCS7 controls Muller glia cell lamination, but it is not responsible for cone photoreceptor positioning

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • vinexin (SORBS3) as a partner interacting with SOCS7 (interacts with vinexin and the actin cytoskeleton)
  • connection between septins, SOCS7, NCK1 signaling, and the DNA damage response
  • SOCS7 interact with PLCG1, one of the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) receptor downstream molecules
  • SOCS7, a Cullin 5-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL5 substrate adaptor protein, is also required for neocortical layering
  • by terminating RELN signaling, SOCS6 and SOCS7 may allow new cycles of RELN signaling to occur and these may be essential for cortical neuron migration
