Fos

Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; learning or memory; and nervous system development. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; nuclear matrix; and nucleoplasm. Used to study alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; gastric ulcer; and morphine dependence. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; artery disease (multiple); brain disease (multiple); and drug dependence (multiple). 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 rat 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.
