basic FUNCTION
  • implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation
  • controling osteoclast survival and size through LIF/LIF-receptor signalling
  • is a basic -leucine zipper (bZIP) motif 'Fos' family transcription factor that is part of the AP1 transcription factor complex and is also known to play a critical role in the progression of human tumours and more recently as a determinant of T cell plasticity

    protein
  • SOX4 is a direct target gene of FOSL2 and induces expression of HDAC8 in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
  • FOSL2 is a novel STAT5A target gene, regulated by IL2 in activated CD4 T cells
