JUND — JunD proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit
JUND belongs to a gene co-expression module in 13 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Transcription factor binding AP-1 sites. Heterodimerizes with proteins of the FOS family to form an AP-1 transcription factor complex, thereby enhancing their DNA binding activity to an AP-1 consensus sequence 3'-TGA[GC]TCA-5' and enhancing their transcriptional activity
