NCIt synonyms : Max Dimerizer 1; Protein MAD; MAX Dimerization Protein-1;
NCIt definition : Max dimerization protein 1 (221 aa, 26 kDa) is encoded by the human MXD1 gene. This
protein is involved in the negative regulation of transcription.;

while MYC appears to function as an activator and is a candidate tumor suppressor
gene.;
