Myc is a key regulator of cell growth, di erentiation and apoptosis, and a ects cell fate decisions by activating as well as by inhibiting the expression of cellular genes. Myc is a member of the basic region ± helix ± loop ± helix ± leucine zipper (b-HLH-Zip) class of transcription factors, which heterodimerizes with the Max protein and recognizes a consensus Myc binding motif.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
