MAX Protein, Human (His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
MAX protein is a transcriptional regulator that forms a complex with MYC to promote activation, or a complex with MAD to cause inhibition, binding to the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. MAX acts as a repressor protein that recruits chromatin remodeling complexes with H3 "Lys-9" histone methyltransferase activity. MAX Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived MAX protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
MAX protein is a transcriptional regulator that forms a complex with MYC to promote activation, or a complex with MAD to cause inhibition, binding to the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. MAX acts as a repressor protein that recruits chromatin remodeling complexes with H3 "Lys-9" histone methyltransferase activity. MAX Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived MAX protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.
MAX, a transcription regulator, forms a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex either with MYC, promoting transcriptional activation, or with MAD, leading to transcriptional repression, recognizing the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. MAX may act as a transcriptional repressor by recruiting a chromatin remodeling complex with H3 'Lys-9' histone methyltransferase activity and repressing MYC transcriptional activity from E-box elements. Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. It binds DNA as a heterodimer with either MYC or MAD. MAX is part of the E2F6.com-1 complex during the G0 phase, along with various other components. It is also a component of some MLL1/MLL complexes, contributing to the regulation of gene expression. MAX interacts with SPAG9, and when in a heterodimer with MYC, it interacts with ABI1, potentially enhancing MYC:MAX transcriptional activity. MAX's versatility in forming complexes with different partners underscores its role as a key modulator of gene expression.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 250 mM NaCl, pH 8.5.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US;may vary elsewhere.
