Socs3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables miRNA binding activity and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Involved in cellular response to interleukin-17. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; liver; placenta; retina; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Socs3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
