cFosJun
cFosJun is a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular processes, particularly in response to cellular stress and activation. It is a member of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor family, a group of proteins that regulate the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress responses. The c-Fos and c-Jun proteins are dimerization partners, meaning they can bind to each other to form a functional AP-1 complex. This complex then binds to specific DNA sequences, called AP-1 binding sites, to control the transcription of target genes.
The expression of c-Fos and c-Jun is tightly regulated and can be rapidly induced by various stimuli,
The c-FosJun complex is a key player in signal transduction pathways that originate from the cell surface
