More recent data suggest that SOCS proteins may also modulate signaling mediated through receptor tyrosine kinases. Krebs and Hilton discuss research implicating SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 as inhibitors of insulin receptor-mediated and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor-mediated signaling pathways, as well as the increasing evidence that SOCS proteins may act in part by participating in a ubiquitin ligase complex to promote the degradation of target proteins.}, URL = {https://stke.sciencemag.org/content/2003/169/pe6}, eprint = {https://stke.sciencemag.org/content/2003/169/pe6.full.pdf}, journal = {Science Signaling} }
