Background: c-Myc

The c-Myc protein is a transcription factor, which is encoded by the c-Myc gene on human chromosome 8q24. c-Myc is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that functions as a transcription factor with a theoretical molecular weight of 62kDa. However, c-Myc is extremely labile and is degraded very quickly even in extracts prepared with boiling SDS sample buffer, such that a molecular weight of ~40 kDa has been observed. c-Myc is part of a heterodimeric complex with Max that acts as a potent transcriptional activator. c-Myc is modified by glycosylation and phosphorylation and has been shown to interact with numerous proteins including SMAD2, SMAD3, LSD1/KDM1A, MAD, and Sp1 (1).

A basic Helix-Loop-Helix, Leucine Zipper domain (bHLH/LZ), designated Max, specifically associates with c-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc proteins. The Myc-Max complex binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner under conditions where neither Max nor Myc exhibit appreciable binding. Max can also form heterodimers with other bHLH-Zip proteins, Mad and Mxi1. c-Myc plays a role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, cellular transformation and angiogenesis (2). Mutations, overexpression, rearrangement and translocation of this gene have been associated with a variety of cancers including B-cell Lymphomas, acute myeloid leukemia, glioblastoma, stomach adenocarcinoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma (3).

FAQs for c-Myc Antibody Blocking Peptide

Showing  1 - 3 of 3 FAQs Showing All
  • Q: Has this peptide been used as an absorption control for immunostaining with the c-myc antibody clone 9E10? What is the effective concentration of peptide per ml of optimally diluted antibody? Are there any punblications citing this procedure?

    A:

    Our c-Myc peptide NB600-336PEP is a blocking peptide specific to our c-Myc antibody NB600-336. The NB600-336PEP peptide is a synthetic peptide made to the human c-Myc protein (between residues 400-450) [UniProt P01106]. We have tested this peptide in a western blot competition assay with our NB600-336 antibody. We used the peptide at a 50-200 molar excess of the antibody. This translates to approximately 5-10ug of peptide to every 1ug of antibody. Currently, we do not have any published reference using this peptide.

  • Q: What is the sequence?

    A: Our sequence is considered proprietary, but we utilized a synthetic peptide made to the human c-Myc protein (between residues 400-450). Residues 400-450 contains the region used universally to c-Myc tag proteins.

  • Q: What is the size of this protein in kDa?

    A: This peptide was used to generate our c-Myc antibody NB600-336. This is just the c-Myc epitope tag so it's only about 1kDa. This peptide is intended to be a blocking peptide rather than for use in Western blot. 9E10 is also a commercial available antibody against the c-Myc tag, so this should work just fine.
