Myc is a family of regulator genes that code for transcription factors which regulate the expression of a wide variety of target genes involved in cell cycle regulation, growth, metabolism, apoptosis, and differentiation. The Myc luciferase reporter vector is designed to study the transcriptional activity of Myc. The vector contains a Myc DNA consensus binding site and TA minimal promoter upstream of a firefly luciferase reporter gene, which can specifically report Myc activity while maintaining a low basal level of transcription.
