Rabbit Anti-n-Myc/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene is a member of the MYC family and encodes a protein with a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain. This protein is located in the nucleus and must dimerize with another bHLH protein in order to bind DNA. Amplification of this gene is associated with a variety of tumors, most notably neuroblastomas. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Function:
May function as a transcription factor.
Subunit:
Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Binds DNA as an heterodimer with MAX. Interacts with KDM5A, KDM5B and HUWE1.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
DISEASE:
Note=Amplification of the N-MYC gene is associated with a variety of human tumors, most frequently neuroblastoma, where the level of amplification appears to increase as the tumor progresses.
Defects in MYCN are the cause of Feingold syndrome type 1 (FGLDS1) [MIM:164280]. A syndrome characterized by variable combinations of esophageal and duodenal atresias, microcephaly, learning disability, mental retardation, and limb malformations. Cardiac and renal malformations, vertebral anomalies, and deafness have also been described.
Similarity:
Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.
