MONOCLONAL ANTI-MYC TAG antibody produced in mouse

The cellular myelocytomatosis (c-myc) gene is mapped to human chromosome 8q24. It is the cellular homologue of the v-myc gene originally isolated from an avian myelocytomatosis virus. c-myc is a member of MYC gene family.c-Myc gene codes for basic helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper (bHLH/LZ) transcription factor that regulates the G1-S cell cycle transition.

MONOCLONAL ANTI-MYC TAG antibody produced in mouse has been used in Western blotting.

The cellular myelocytomatosis (c-myc) oncogene plays a vital role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and acts as transcriptional regulator of gene expression. c-myc expression is essential and sufficient to assist most of the cells to enter DNA synthetic (S) phase of the cell cycle. The encoded protein plays a crucial role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during cancer development and progression. c-myc interacts with its binding partner Max and activates the transcription of growth promoting genes such as cyclin D2 and ornithine decarboxylase. It also represses the transcription of multiple genes, especially p21 and p27, by binding to the transcription initiator element (Inr) in a complex with Max and either Sp1 or Miz1. Overexpression of MYC in DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) results in poor outcome and invasive treatment when medicated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP).
