We compared the regulation of N-myc and c-myc expression under different growth conditions as well as in vitro differentiation of the murine EC lines F9 and PCC7. N-myc and c-myc expression was found to be regulated by distinct mechanisms, although similarities exist.

The Myc family consists of three related human genes: c-myc (MYC), l-myc (MYCL), and n-myc (MYCN). c-myc (also sometimes referred to as MYC) was the first gene to be discovered in this family, due to homology with the viral gene v-myc.

The fact that mutation of N-myc also causes microcephaly in humans in Feingold Syndrome [3], suggests common Myc-regulated pathways are at work during mouse and human brain growth. Earlier studies indicate that N-Myc drives brain growth by maintaining widespread domains of euchromatin [4] required for NSC proliferation and pluripotency.

Members of the myc family of cellular oncogenes have been implicated as transcriptional regulators in pathways that govern cellular proliferation and death. In addition, N-myc and c-myc are essential for completion of murine embryonic development. ...

Myc and MycN (referred hitherto as “c-Myc” and “N-Myc”) are basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that, when dimerized with the binding partner Max, bind E-box sequences in a specific chromatin context and thereby activate expression of target genes [1].

The distribution of c-myc and N-myc transcripts during mouse organogenesis was investigated by in situ hybridization and compared to proliferation in several tissues. Only c-myc expression was found during the formation of cartilage, brown adipose tissue, glandula submandibularis, thymus and …

Nov 4, 2011 · We show that H-Ras G12V -mediated degradation of N-Myc functions independently of key phosphorylation sites in the highly conserved Myc homology box I region that controls c-Myc protein stability by oncogenic Ras.

Nov 1, 1987 · We compared the regulation of N-myc and c-myc expression under different growth conditions as well as in vitro differentiation of the murine EC lines F9 and PCC7. N-myc and c-myc expression...

N-myc proto-oncogene protein also known as N-Myc or basic helix-loop-helix protein 37 (bHLHe37), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYCN gene. The MYCN gene is a member of the MYC family of transcription factors and encodes a protein with a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.

Amongst the most detailed investigated strategies for targeting MYC are inhibition of its binding to its obligate interaction partner MAX, prevention of MYC expression and blocking of genes exhibiting synthetic lethality with overexpression of MYC.
