MeSH definition : Retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (fos) originally isolated from the Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins
(FBJ-MSV) and Finkel-Biskis-Reilly (FBR-MSV) murine sarcoma viruses. The proto-oncogene
protein c-fos codes for a nuclear protein which is involved in growth-related transcriptional
control. The insertion of c-fos into FBJ-MSV or FBR-MSV induces osteogenic sarcomas
in mice. The human c-fos gene is located at 14q21-31 on the long arm of chromosome
14.;
MeSH synonym : fos gene; fos genes;
CISMeF synonym : fos;
MeSH hyponym : v-fos genes; c-fos genes; c fos Genes; c-fos Gene; c-fos Proto-Oncogenes; c fos Proto Oncogenes; c-fos Proto-Oncogene; v fos Genes; v-fos Gene; v-fos Oncogenes; v fos Oncogenes; v-fos Oncogene;
MeSH annotation : fos stands for Finkel & Osteogenic Sarcoma;
