Abstract
The suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are originally identified as negative regulators of cytokine-activated Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription signaling pathway, but increasing evidence reveals that SOCS proteins play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes involving regulation of the insulin signaling and pancreatic β-cell function, and that SOCS are promising to be the targets for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this review, we focus on the emerging role for SOCS and the potential drugs targeting SOCS for type 2 diabetes.Entities:
