c-Fos is an immediate early gene that encodes a protein involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It is part of the Fos family of proteins, which are transcription factors that can regulate the expression of other genes.
Increased expression of c-Fos is often associated with more aggressive tumor behavior and poorer prognosis across various cancer types. Its role as an immediate early gene suggests that it may be involved in the early response to oncogenic signals, contributing to tumor development and progression.
