N-Myc Differentially Regulates Expression of MXI1 Isoforms in Neuroblastoma
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2013 Amplification of the MYCN proto-oncogene is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with metastatic neuroblastoma (NB). MYCN encodes the N-Myc protein, a transcriptional regulator that dimerizes with the Max transcription factor, binds to E-box DNA ...
