The human oncogene c-fos is cellular homolog of the transforming gene of Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins (FBJ)murine osteosarcoma virus which was mapped to a single human chromosome. c-Fos is encoded by the FOS gene. FOS was the first transcription factor identified that has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. FOS is also a major component of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex, which includes members of the JUN family.c-fos is a major nuclear target for signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and transformation. Using transgenic and knockout mice, Grigoriadis et al. (1995) established a unique role for the proto-oncogene and nuclear transcription factor, Fos, in regulating thedifferentiation and activity of specific bone cell populations, both during normal development and in bone disease.
