Journal Article
Williams, J. J., Alotaiq, N., Mullen, W., Burchmore, R., Liu, L., Baillie, G. S., Schaper, F., Pilch, P. F., & Palmer, T. M. (2018). Interaction of suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 with cavin-1 links SOCS3 function and cavin-1 stability. Nature communications, 9(1), Article 168. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-017-02585-y

Effective suppression of JAK–STAT signalling by the inducible inhibitor “suppressor of cytokine signalling 3” (SOCS3) is essential for limiting signalling from cytokine receptors. Here we show that cavin-1, a component of caveolae, is a functionally... Read More about Interaction of suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 with cavin-1 links SOCS3 function and cavin-1 stability.
