Description: The 9E10 antibody reacts with human c-Myc p67; the antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 408-439 within the carboxy terminal domain of human c-Myc. This antibody can be used to detect myc-tagged protein.
The transcription factor c-Myc is a proto-oncogene that is at the focal point in cell cycle regulation, metabolism, apoptosis, differentiation, cell adhesion, and tumorigenesis (1-3). In normal cells the expression of c-Myc is tightly regulated but in human cancers c-Myc is frequently deregulated (2&3).c-Myc also plays a pivotal role in apoptosis, most notably its connections to the CD95/Fas death receptor pathway (1&4). These different biological responses to c-Myc are most likely the result of different overlapping subsets of c-Myc target genes (1).
