Background: Max

Max is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZ) family of transcription factors. Max is able to form homodimers and heterodimers with other family members (Mad, Mxi1, and Myc). These homodimers and heterodimers compete for a common DNA target site (the E box (CACGTG)). MYC:MAX heterodimers are associated with transcriptional activation and cellular proliferation, whereas, the MAD:MAX heterodimers are associated with transcriptional repression and cellular differentiation. Max has six alternatively spliced transcript variants.
