c-Myc Peptide

c-Myc, the product of the c-myc proto-oncogene, is a helix-loop-helix leucine zipper phosphoprotein that regulates gene transcription in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. This peptide is a human c-myc epitope, amino acid sequence is corresponds to amino acids 410-419 of the C-terminal of human c-Myc. c-Myc peptide is a useful for displacement of c-Myc-tagged fusion proteins bound to anti-c-Myc antibodies in immunoassays. The successful inhibition of antibody binding by c-Myc peptide demonstrates binding is specific. c-Myc Peptide participates in regulation of growth-related gene transcription.
