Myc epitope tag with SphI restriction site

A myc tag is a polypeptide protein tag derived from the c-myc gene, and we added a SpHI restriction site to its N-terminal.

Usage and Biology

The Myc-tag, a commonly used tag in research and biological applications, is derived from the human c-myc oncogene (410-419 at the C-terminus). The Myc-tag is used in detecting the expression of recombinant proteins when it is fused to the protein of interest. Its sequence is EQKLISEEDL. It is commonly used in Western blotting, ELISA, protein purification or co-immunoprecipitation. This part contains a SpHI restriction site making it easier to be used in molecular cloning.

 ==Usage and Biology==
-The Myc-tag is derived from the human c-myc oncogene and corresponds to amino acid residues 410-419 of the C-terminus of human c-Myc protein. The human c-Myc was discovered as a cellular homolog of v-myc oncogenes, which were identified through analyses of avian tumors1,2. C-Myc is a transcription factor.

-First, the Myc-tag should be genetically fused/cloned to a protein of interest (POI). After expression, the Myc-tagged protein can be captured and identified in crude biological samples. Common applications are immunoprecipitation, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, ELISA, flow cytometry, protein purification, and Western blotting.
