Expression of the c-myc gene, which produces an oncogenic
transcription factor, is tightly regulated in normal cells but is
frequently deregulated in human cancers. The protein encoded by
this gene is a transcriptional repressor thought to negatively
regulate MYC function, and is therefore a potential tumor
suppressor. This protein inhibits the transcriptional activity of
MYC by competing for MAX, another basic helix-loop-helix protein
that binds to MYC and is required for its function. Defects in this
gene are frequently found in patients with prostate tumors. Three
alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have
been described. Additional alternatively spliced transcripts may
exist but the products of these transcripts have not been verified
experimentally.1) Lofstedt, T., et al. Exp. Cell Res. 315(11):1924-1936(2009)
