GenAge entry for FOS (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 50)

HGNC symbol
FOS 
Aliases
c-fos; AP-1 
Common name
FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

The FOS oncogene plays an important role in development, cell proliferation, and differentiation [118]. As part of the AP-1 transcriptional complex, FOS has been associated with age-related changes and with the attenuated cellular response in older cells [851]. Still, its relevance to human ageing remains under debate.
