anti-C-Myc Antibody

C-Myc

MYC; BHLHE39; Myc proto-oncogene protein; Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 39; Proto-oncogene c-Myc; Transcription factor p64

c-Myc-, N-Myc- and L-Myc-encoded proteins function in cell proliferation, differentiation and neoplastic disease. Myc proteins are nuclear proteins with relatively short half-lives. Amplification of the c-Myc gene has been found in several types of human tumors including lung, breast and colon carcinomas, while the N-Myc gene has been found amplified in neuroblastoma. The L-Myc gene has been reported to be amplified and expressed at high level in human small cell lung carcinomas. The presence of three sequence motifs in the c-Myc COOH terminus, including the leucine zipper, the helix-loop-helix and a basic region provided initial evidence for a sequence-specific binding function. A basic region helix-loop-helix leucine zipper motif (bHLH-Zip) protein designated Max, specifically associates with c-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc proteins. The Myc-Max complex binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner under conditions where neither Max nor Myc exhibit appreciable binding. Max can also form heterodimers with at least two additional bHLH-Zip proteins, Mad and Mxi1, and Mad-Max dimers have been shown to repress transcription through interaction with mSin3.

Rabbit

N/A

Liquid

Supplied in in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.

This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Western blot, FACS.

Western blot: ~1:1000, FC: 1:10 – 1:50.
