C-myc is used in cell cycle entry, proliferation, and differentiation. C-myc also helps to bind DNA which activates transcription. The c-myc lives a very short life. It is controlled by the level and temporal pattern of expression of their corresponding gene. Without C-myc an organism is unable to survive since there is nothing allowing cells to differentiate or proliferate. The organisms cannot survive after the pre-T-cell receptor proliferation is unable to be completed. | C-myc is used in cell cycle entry, proliferation, and differentiation.

C-myc is also involved in the bodies system of remebering past diseases. T-cells help the body to remember diseases it has previously had. C-myc controls the regulation of T-cells. Without C-myc the T-cells would not be triggered to multiply when a disease that the body has seen before infiltrates the body again. | |||
