Specificity: The C-Myc tag antibody can detect C-Myc fusion proteins. 

Background: C-Myc-tag antibody is part of the Tag series of antibodies, the best quality in the research. Myc protein is a transcription factor that activates expression of a great number of genes through binding on consensus sequences (Enhancer Box sequences (E-boxes)) and recruiting histone acetyltransferases (HATs). A recent study demonstrated that temporary inhibition of Myc selectively kills mouse lung cancer cells, making it a potential cancer drug target.
