Preferred Label : genes, myc;
MeSH definition : Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (myc) originally isolated from an avian
myelocytomatosis virus. The proto-oncogene myc (c-myc) codes for a nuclear protein
which is involved in nucleic acid metabolism and in mediating the cellular response
to growth factors. Truncation of the first exon, which appears to regulate c-myc expression,
is crucial for tumorigenicity. The human c-myc gene is located at 8q24 on the long
arm of chromosome 8.;
