CMCM2

CMCM2, also known as C-Myc binding protein or MCAMBP, is a protein encoded by the MCAMBP gene in humans. This gene is located on chromosome 11. The protein plays a role in cellular processes and is involved in the regulation of gene expression. It is believed to interact with the MYC protein, a well-known oncogene that is frequently altered in various cancers. Research suggests that CMCM2 may act as a co-factor or regulator in MYC-driven transcriptional activation. The precise mechanisms by which CMCM2 influences MYC activity and its downstream effects are areas of ongoing scientific investigation. Alterations in CMCM2 expression or function have been implicated in certain disease states, including some types of cancer, although its specific role in tumorigenesis is still being elucidated. Understanding the interactions and functions of CMCM2 is important for comprehending cellular regulation and potentially for developing new therapeutic strategies.
