Phospho c-Myc Antibody (pT58)

c-Myc participates in the regulation of gene transcription. It binds DNA both in a non-specific manner and also specifically to recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. This protein appears to activate the transcription of growth-related genes. Overexpression of MYC is implicated in the etiology of a variety of hematopoietic tumors. A chromosomal aberration involving MYC may be a cause of a form of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
