The suppressor of cytokine gene family (suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)) is a recently described gene family that has the ability to affect a variety of physiological functions in the human body. This review will discuss the potential role that the SOCS proteins may have in skeletal muscle and the virtually unexplored interaction with exercise training.
