Its protein product, c-Fos, is a short-lived transcription factor that heterodimerizes with various protein partners within the AP-1 transcription complex via leucine zipper/leucine zipper ...

Members of the Fos protein family dimerise with Jun proteins to form the AP-1 transcription factor complex. They have a central function in proliferation and differentiation of normal tissue as ...

And after infusions of human cord plasma, more hippocampus cells churned out a protein called c-Fos, a marker of a busy brain that’s known to decline with age. Elderly mice that received elderly ...

The researchers also examined the upregulation of the Fos protein during memory reactivation and the respective roles of immediate early gene expression and DNA damage repair. Based on their ...

which increases production of the Fos protein. According to Greenberg, the speed of this induction indicated a possible mechanism by which nature and nurture work together to orchestrate brain ...
