Introduction
C-Myc is a transcription factor involved in the cell cycle specifically with the stimulation of cell proliferation but is also involved in the regulation of apoptosis, cell differentiation, cell competition, and senescence [1]. C-Myc is a binding protein and functions primarily by inducing transcription through the formation of heterodimers with
Structure
The c-myc protein contains two specific regions that characterize them as transcription factors: a carboxy-terminal basix helix-loop-helix leucine zipper motif and an amino terminal transactivation domain[2].
