Amino acids AEEQKLISEEDLLRKRREQLKHKLEQLRNSCA from C-terminus of the human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant c-Myc antibody.
It recognizes a transcription factor of 64-67kDa, identified as c-myc. This MAb shows no cross-reaction with v-myc. c-myc is involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation and is amplified and/or overexpressed in a variety of tumors. Over-expression of c-myc protein occurs frequently in luminal cells of prostate intraepithelial neoplasia as well as in most primary carcinomas and metastatic disease.
