c-myc (Myc, myc-1, Cellular myelocytomatosis oncogene, Myc2, Niard, Nird, Transcription factor p64, v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog) (HRP)

The c-myc proto-oncogene is the cellular homologue v-myc, originally isolated from avian myelocytomatosis virus. c-myc protein is localized to the nucleus and exhibits cell cycle-dependent expression In human cell lines and neoplasms. Many types of abnormal c-myc expression have been observed including insertional inactivation, translocation, and amplification. c-myc is involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Translocation of the c-myc locus on chromosome 8 to the immunoglobulin loci on chromosome 14 (heavy chain); 2 (k light chain); or 22 (l light chain) is described...
