FOS Protein Definition

FOS is involved in growth-related transcriptional control, is a key regulator of osteoclast-macrophage lineage determination, and is a major component of the heterodimeric DNA-binding AP-1 transcription factor complex, which includes JUN family members. Both proteins contain a bZIP region. AP-1 binds to TREs (TPA-responsive elements) in the promoters of target genes. (from OMIM 164810 and NCI)
