The fos-related antigen 1 (Fra-1, or FosL1: Fos-like antigen 1) is a member of the Fos onco-protein family and a component of AP-1 transcription factor. Similar to other members of the family, Fra-1 contains a leucine zipper domain and a highly conserved C-terminal region. Transcription of Fra-1 gene is regulated by multiple cis-elements and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Fra-1 expression is associated with proliferation and invasiveness of breast cancer cells and other cancer cells.
Physical form
Clear and colorless frozen liquid solution
Preparation Note
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. While working, please keep sample on ice.
fra-1 encodes a serum-inducible protein (Fra-1) that is antigenically related to Fos. We have characterized Fra-1 expression in serum-stimulated cells using antibodies raised against several regions of this protein. Fra-1, expressed transiently in COS cells or in serum-stimulated rat fibroblasts

Recent studies indicate a potential role for Fra-1, a heterodimeric partner of activator protein 1 (AP1), in toxicant-induced epithelial injury, repair, and cellular transformation. Here, we have investigated the transcriptional regulation of fra-1 by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in human bronchial epithelial
cDNA clones of human fos-related genes fra-1 and fra-2 were isolated by screening human c-DNA libraries with human fos DNA as a probe. We obtained human fra-1 cDNA clones that can code for a protein of 271 amino acid residues
