GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Jund. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a member of the JUN family, and a functional component of the AP1 transcription factor complex. It has been proposed to protect cells from p53-dependent senescence and apoptosis. Alternate translation initiation site usage, including non-AUG codons, results in the production of different isoforms.
