MYC Associated Factor X (MAX) (AA 1-160) protein (His tag)
Description
MAX protein is part of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZ) family of transcription factors. MAX forms homodimers and heterodimers with Mad, Mxi1 and Myc. Myc is an oncoprotein implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The homodimers and heterodimers compete for a common DNA target site (the E box) and rearrangement among these dimer forms offers a complex system of transcriptional regulation. In contrast to Myc, which is exceedingly regulated throughout progression during the cell cycle, Max is very stable and is much more abundant than Myc Synonyms: bHLHd4, bHLHd5, bHLHd6, bHLHd7, bHLHd8, MYC Associated Factor X, Class D basic helix-loop-helix protein 4, orf1, MGC10775, MGC11225, MGC18164, MGC34679, MGC36767, MAX Protein
