Abstract:
Suppressor of cytokine signaling1 (SOCS1), as a member of SOCS family, has been widely studied in recent years. It has been found that SOCS1 not only participates in cell signaling, but also in ubiquitination mediated protein degradation process. Both of these two functions play an important role in the growth and proliferation of cells. Therefore, researchers speculated that SOCS1 also played an important role in tumors. This review mainly focuses on the structure, transcriptional regulation and functions of SOCS1 protein, and finally describes the possible clinical role of SOCS1 protein in tumors.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
