Fos-related antigen 1 (FRA1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOSL1 gene.

Gene data

FOSL1
Name
FOS like 1, AP-1 transcription factor subunit
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
FRA, FRA1, fra-1

The 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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014].

Fos-related antigen 1 (FRA1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOSL1 gene.

== Function == The Fos gene family consists of 4 members: c-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.
