Anti-c-Myb Antibody Picoband®

Myb proto-oncogene protein, also known as transcriptional activator Myb, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYB gene. It is a member of the MYB (myeloblastosis) family of transcription factors. This gene is mapped to 6q23.3.The protein contains three domains, an N-terminal DNA-binding domain, a central transcriptional activation domain and a C-terminal domain involved in transcriptional repression. This protein plays an essential role in the regulation of hematopoiesis and may play a role in tumorigenesis, including the regulation of miR-155 in B-cells. MYB is also a critical target of MIR150.

Expressed in lung. Expressed at low levels in heart, placenta and kidney. Expressed in mesothelial cells. Highly expressed in mesotheliomas, ovarian cancers, and some squamous cell carcinomas (at protein level) . .
