Thus, the c‐myc oncogene codes for a protein that may act as both transcriptional activator and repressor, being involved in the regulation of various genes linked to proliferation and growth arrest.[1] Because overexpression of c‐myc was found to be associated with a wide range of human cancers,[2, 3] its complex transcriptional regulation employing multiple promoters has been the subject of intense research over the past three decades. Here, MYC is linked to cancer.
