The ASB2 protein belongs to the ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing (ASB) family of proteins. It consists of an ankyrin repeat sequence and a SOCS box domain. The SOCS box plays a role in connecting suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins and their binding partners with the elongin B and C complex, potentially facilitating their degradation. This gene is induced by all-trans retinoic acid. In myeloid leukemia cells, the expression of this encoded protein has been shown to induce growth inhibition and chromatin condensation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene but their full length sequences are not known.^[5]
