Anti-MYC antibodies are useful reagents used in applications like western blot, IHC, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry for the immunodetection of the target protein, MYC. In humans, this target is encoded by the gene, MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor (MYC). Orthologs for MYC have also been reported in other species, including mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken. The canonical MYC protein is 439 amino acids in length, 48.8 kDa in mass, and has a nuclear subcellular localization. MYC functions in DNA binding and has a role in development and immune cytokine signaling. Post-translational modifications have been described, notably phosphorylation and glycosylation. Synonyms for the myc protein include: MRTL; MYCC; bHLHe39; c-Myc; myc proto-oncogene protein; avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog.
