Application

Anti-c-Myc Tag antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog belongs to MYC family. When overexpressed, these proteins can delay the resolution of DNA lesions and cause DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and genome instability. This transcription factor MYC helps in regulating long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which has been implicated in cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Its overexpression is also associated with various cancers, and in particular B cell lymphomas. Elevated expression of c-MYC inhibits the ability of B cell lymphomas to functionally present antigens/peptides to CD4⁺ T cells. It is associated with Burkitt lymphoma and a group of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

General description

c-Myc (v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog) is a transcription factor, which is coded by MYC gene. It was first described as a homolog of an avian retroviral oncogene. It belongs to the family of transcription factors which are characterized by basic region helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper. Along with N-Myc and L-Myc, it forms the MYC proto-oncogene family. It forms a heterodimer with MAX, and this heterodimer binds to the E-boxes/CACGTG sequence motif on DNA. This gene is localized to human chromosome 8q24.
