Presentation: PBS, 15 mM sodium azide, approx., pH 7.4.
Target Species: Human
Host Species: Mouse
Specificity: The antibody 9E10 may be used to detect the c-Myc tag. The c-myc gene (8q24 on human chromosome) is the cellular homologue of the v-myc gene originally isolated from an avian myelocytomatosis virus. The c-Myc protein is a transcription factor (nuclear localization). c-Myc is commonly activated in a variety of tumor cells and plays an important role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression. The phosphorylation of c-Myc has been investigated and previous studies have suggested a functional association between phosphorylation at Thr58/Ser62 by glycogen synthase kinase 3, cyclin-dependent kinase, ERK2 and C-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) in cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation. In normal cells the expression of c-Myc is tightly regulated but in human cancers c-Myc is frequently deregulated. c-Myc is also essential for tumor cell development in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis that distribute blood throughout the cells
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide sequence (AEEQKLISEEDLL) corresponding to the C-terminal region of human c-myc. Percent identity by BLAST analysis: Human, Chimpanzee, Gorilla (100%); Orangutan, Monkey, Marmoset, Tamarin (92%); Rat, Sheep, Hamster, Panda, Dog, Horse (85%).
