Entrez gene ID2354
Official gene symbolFOSB
Full nameFBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B
Aliases,AP-1,DKFZp686C0818,G0S3,GOS3,GOSB,MGC42291,
Gene summaryThe Fos gene family consists of 4 members: FOS, FOSB, FOSL1, and FOSL2. These genes encode leucine zipper proteins that can dimerize with proteins of the JUN family, thereby forming the transcription factor complex AP-1. As such, the FOS proteins have been implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
