Myc and Max proteins possess distinct transcriptional activities.

Nature - 1 Oct 1992

Kretzner L, Blackwood E M, Eisenman R N

Abstract excerpt

The Myc family proteins are thought to be involved in transcription because they have both a carboxy-terminal basic-helix-loop-helix-zipper (bHLH-Z) domain, common to a large class of transcription factors, and an amino-terminal fragment which, for c-Myc, has transactivating function when assayed...
