REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

C-Myc also known simply as Myc or MYC protein is a transcription factor with significant roles in cellular processes. Its estimated molecular weight is approximately 62 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues and cell types including common use in HEK (human embryonic kidney) cells for research. c-Myc functions by regulating transcription of genes involved in cell cycle progression apoptosis and cellular transformation.
Biological function summary
C-Myc is involved in regulating cell growth and proliferation. It forms part of the Myc/Max complex which binds to DNA to regulate gene expression. This activity affects cellular metabolism ribosome biogenesis and cell cycle entry emphasizing its regulation of cellular energy and stress response. Its expression levels critically govern normal cellular functions and homeostasis.
Pathways
C-Myc plays an important role in the cell cycle pathway and apoptosis regulation. Specifically c-Myc is associated with the Wnt signaling pathway which influences cellular proliferation and differentiation. It also interacts with other proteins like Cyclin D1 influencing cell cycle control. These interactions ensure c-Myc's involvement in regulating key processes related to cell proliferation and stability.
C-Myc is tightly linked to cancer such as Burkitt's lymphoma and colon cancer. In these conditions c-Myc overexpression contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Additionally c-Myc is associated with other oncogenic proteins like BCL2 in tumorigenesis highlighting its pivotal role in cancer development and progression. Understanding c-Myc's involvement in these diseases aids in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.
