Description
Myc Reporter (Luc) - HCT116 Cell Line (Myc Signaling Pathway) | 60520 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Cell Signaling/Cell Line
Application: Monitor Myc pathway activity and screen for activators or inhibitors of the Myc pathway.
Background: The Myc signaling pathway plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation, transformation and apoptosis. The c-Myc protein is a transcription factor that heterodimerizes with Max to regulate transcription of genes involved in proliferation, transformation and angiogenesis. Myc mutations have been linked to the development of a number of human cancers, including Burkitt's lymphoma, cervical, ovarian, breast, lung and pancreatic carcinoma, making Myc a promising therapeutic target.
Description: The Myc Reporter - HCT116 cell line contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of Myc responsive elements stably integrated into HCT116 cells, a human colon cancer cell line. HCT116 contains a mutated beta-catenin which leads to the accumulation of β-catenin and constitutive activation of downstream Myc that induces the expression of Myc luciferase reporter. The cell line is validated for the inhibition of the expression of Myc luciferase reporter.
