About Myc

Primary_assembly 7: 93,593,705-93,598,630 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026980.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 217 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 102 phenotypes. Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 98.), Thymus (RPKM 64.5) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in cell cycle progression, Apoptosis and cellular transformation. It functions as a transcription factor that regulates transcription of specific target genes. Mutations, overexpression, rearrangement and translocation of this gene have been associated with a variety of hematopoietic tumors, leukemias and lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma, in human. There is evidence to show that alternative translation initiations from an upstream, in-frame non-AUG (CUG) and a downstream AUG start site result in the production of two isoforms with distinct N-termini, in human and mouse. Rat mRNA also has a similarly placed CUG upstream of the AUG start site, suggesting that it may also produce two Myc proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
