c-MYC

Background

c-MYC gene is a proto-oncogene, which is expressed in many types of cells, and the expression of c-MYC gene is often increased in cells with active proliferation and in various tumor cells. Its expression is associated with the proliferation of breast cancer, colon cancer and bladder cancer. Studies have shown that c-Myc is essential for vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in neoplastic disease. The overexpression of c-MYC oncogene has been implicated in the development and progression of human prostate carcinoma.
