Research Use Only

The Myc Pathway Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of the Myc signaling pathway in cultured cells. The kit contains a transfection-ready expression vector for c- Myc and Myc luciferase reporter vector. Inside the cells, c-Myc will bind to Max, translocate to the nucleus, and induce expression of the Myc luciferase reporter vector. This reporter contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized Myc responsive elements located upstream of a minimal promoter. The Myc reporter is premixed with constitutively-expressing Renilla (sea pansy) luciferase vector, which serves as an internal positive control for transfection efficiency. The kit also includes a non-inducible firefly luciferase vector premixed with constitutivelyexpressing Renilla luciferase vector as a negative control. The non-inducible luciferase vector contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of a minimal promoter, but without any additional response elements. The negative control is critical for determining pathway-specific effects and background luciferase activity.
