A few cases of malignant melanoma, pancreatic and liver cancers displayed moderate to strong nuclear staining in a fraction of cells. Remaining cancer tissues showed weak cytoplasmic staining or were negative.

Entrez gene summary
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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
