Cellular oncogenes, or proto-oncogenes, play pivotal roles in cellular communication pathways that regulate normal growth, development and differentiation. The cellular oncogene families fos and jun encode nuclear proteins that can function as transcription factors. The fos family of nuclear oncogenes encode cFos, Fos B, (fos-related antigen) Fra 1, and Fra 2. Also named as DKFZp686C0818; FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B; FosB; G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 3; G0S3; GOS3; GOSB; MGC42291; Oncogene FOS B; Protein fosB.
