MeSH definition : A multiprotein complex composed of the products of c-jun and c-fos proto-oncogenes.
These proteins must dimerize in order to bind to the AP-1 recognition site, also known
as the TPA-responsive element (TRE). AP-1 controls both basal and inducible transcription
of several genes.;
MeSH synonym : ap 1 enhancer binding protein; ap-1; ap-1 enhancer-binding protein; enhancer-binding protein, ap-1; activator protein-1; activator protein 1; ap-1 enhancer binding protein; transcription factor AP 1;
MeSH annotation : in genetic transcription; /biosyn /physiol permitted; DF: AP 1;
