Fos

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of osteoclast differentiation; response to muscle stretch; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Part of transcription factor AP-1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb. Orthologous to human FOS (Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fos often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
