Glossaryc-Myc (Myc)

gene regulating cell growth, division, and apoptosis

c-Myc is a gene that codes for a protein involved in cell cycle regulation, growth, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). It acts as a transcription factor, meaning it helps control the expression of other genes. Abnormal activity of c-Myc is often associated with cancer, as it can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation.
