MYC contains one basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH) domain. This protein is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and cellular transformation. It functions as a transcription factor that regulates transcription of specific target genes. It seems to activate the transcription of growth-related genes. It binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC(GA)TG-3'. Mutations, overexpression, rearrangement and translocation of this gene have been associated with a variety of hematopoietic tumors, leukemias and lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma. This antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against recombinant protein of human MYC.The 50kDa band recognized by antibody is the native form of MYC, while the other bands, between 60-70kDa, are the phosphorylated form of MYC (PMID: 12189186)
