Western blot analysis of extracts from SK-Br-3 (lane 2(20μg), SK-Br-3 (lane 3(40μg), using Fos B Antibody. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody and Loading control antibody (Beta Actin, HY-P80438, 1/3000) was used in 5% BSA in TBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse/Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (HY-P8004/HY-P8001, 1/10,000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue using Fos B Antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8 minutes. The tissues were blocked in QuickBlock for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody at 1/100 dilution in 4℃ overnight. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Background

Function
FosB is a member of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor family that regulates gene expression in response to extracellular stimuli[1][2]. Mechanistically, FosB integrates signals from pathways including P2RX7 nucleotide receptor activation, TGF-β signaling, and IL-1-mediated inflammatory pathways, modulating cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, and osteogenic or immune responses[1][3]. In disease models, FosB isoforms such as ΔFosB exhibit region-specific effects in the brain, influencing reward circuitry, stress response, and cognitive function in addiction, depression, and Parkinson’s disease[4][5][6]. Compared with related Fos isoforms, ΔFosB demonstrates enhanced nuclear stability and prolonged transcriptional activity, which allows sustained regulation of target genes including GluA2, parkin, and COX-2[4][5][1]. FosB also forms heterodimeric complexes with other transcription factors such as NFATc3 to regulate tissue factor expression and monocyte trafficking in inflammatory models[7]. Functionally, pharmacological or genetic manipulation of FosB or ΔFosB alters migration, invasion, and fibrosis-related pathways, highlighting their utility as targets in neurodegeneration and cancer research[8][3]. Isoform-specific transcriptional activity and inducibility make FosB a critical node in linking extracellular signals to downstream gene networks, offering mechanistic insight for experimental designs involving transcriptional regulation, stress response, and tissue-specific pathology[1][2].

Subunit
Heterodimer; binds to DNA as heterodimer (PubMed:28981703). Component of an AP-1 transcription factor complex; composed of FOS-JUN heterodimers (By similarity). As part of the AP-1 transcription factor complex, forms heterodimers with JUN, JUNB or JUND, thereby binding to the AP-1 consensus sequence and stimulating transcription (PubMed:28981703). Interacts with the BAF multiprotein chromatin-remodeling complex subunits SMARCB1 and SMARCD1 (By similarity). Interacts with ARID1A and JUN (By similarity)
