Gene information for FOSL2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2355
Official gene symbolFOSL2
Full nameFOS-like antigen 2
Aliases,FLJ23306,FRA2,
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. [provided by RefSeq]
