Proto-oncogene c-Fos (Cellular oncogene fos, G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 7)
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 be
