Overview
Mermaid diagram (expand to render)
The JUNB gene encodes JunB, a member of the AP-1 (Activator Protein-1) transcription factor family. JunB is a key regulator of gene expression in response to cellular stress, growth factors, and cytokines. It plays essential roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and neuronal function. As part of the AP-1 complex, JunB regulates genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress response, and neuroprotection.
