Protein c-Fos is a proto-oncogene that is the human homolog of the retroviral oncogene v-fos. [5] It is encoded in humans by the FOS gene. It was first discovered in rat fibroblasts as the …

C-Fos is an immediate early gene that plays a significant role in memory formation, as indicated by research findings in neuroscience. AI generated definition based on: Learning and Memory: …

The immediate early gene c-fos has long been known as a molecular marker of neural activity. The neuron’s activity is transformed into intracellular calcium influx through NMDA receptors …

We have thus examined the importance of c-Fos for neo-cortex development by comparing these two types of mice at different embryonic stages. c-fos −/− embryos present a ∼15% reduction …

Mar 4, 2002 · Our results suggest that c-fos is a genetic regulator for cellular mechanisms mediating neuronal excitability and survival.

The c-fos gene was first described as a proto-oncogene responsible for the induction of bone tumors. A few decades ago, activation of the protein product c-fos was reported in the brain …

The presence of Fos, the protein product of the immediate-early gene c-fos, in a neuron has become a popular means to identify neurons that participate in a given function without losing …

Sep 1, 2014 · The mechanisms that co-ordinately activate lipid synthesis when high rates of membrane biogenesis are needed to support cell growth are largely unknown. c-Fos, a well …

Emerging evidence suggests that c-fos is essential in regulating neuronal cell survival versus death. Although c-fos is induced by neuronal activity, including kainic acid-induced seizures, …

This article summarizes the achievements that have been accumulated about the role of c-Fos as a transcription factor and as a functional marker of activated neurons. Since its discovery, …
