Delta FosB is a transcription factor that is a splice variant of the FosB gene, part of the Fos family of proteins. It plays a crucial role in neuronal signaling and plasticity, particularly in response to chronic stress and drug exposure. Delta FosB accumulates in the brain's reward pathways and is implicated in various neuropsychiatric conditions, including addiction and depression. Its persistent expression can drive long-term changes in gene expression, influencing behavior and mood.
