General description

c-Myc-, N-Myc- and L-Myc-encoded proteins function in cell proliferation, differentiation and neoplastic disease. Myc proteins are nuclear proteins with relatively short half lives. Amplification of the c-Myc gene has been found in several types of human tumors including lung, breast and colon carcinomas, while the N-Myc gene has been found amplified in neuroblastomas. The L-Myc gene has been reported to be amplified and expressed at high level in human small cell lung carcinomas. The c-Myc protein is a transcription factor, which is encoded by the c-Myc gene on human chromosome 8q24. 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.

Immunogen

Quality

Routinely evaluated by western blot on A431 lysates from EGF-stimulated human A431 cells, human A431 cells and HeLa nuclear extract.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.5-2 µg/mL of this lot detected Myc in A431 lysates from EGF-stimulated human A431 cells. 0.5-2 µg/mL of a previous lot detected Myc in RIPA lysates from human A431 cells and HeLa nuclear extract.

Specificity

Will also cross-react with avian and Xenopus.

Recognizes Myc isoforms Mr 50-67kDa.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.

Handling Recommendations:
Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
