Transcription factor Jun (c-Jun)

Target
c-Jun
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, bZIP transcription factor
01

Overview

Transcription factor Jun (c-Jun) is a key component of the AP-1 transcription factor complex, regulating gene expression related to cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, and tissue morphogenesis. Its activity is modulated by phosphorylation via JNKs and it plays a role in various cancers and nerve regeneration.
