MYCBP Antibody / AMY-1

C-Myc-binding protein (MYCBP), also called Associate of Myc 1 (AMY-1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYCBP gene. The protein encoded by this gene binds to the N-terminus of the oncogenic protein C-MYC, enhancing the ability of C-MYC to activate E box-dependent transcription. The encoded protein is normally found in the cytoplasm, but it translocates to the nucleus during S phase of the cell cycle and associates with C-MYC. This protein may be involved in spermatogenesis. This gene can be silenced by microRNA-22. Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other probably not protein-coding, have been found for this gene
