Gene:
FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B
Gene ID:
192856
Symbol:
FOSB
Species:
1000
Description:
The 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.
