= C-myc mRNA
{wiki=C-myc_mRNA}
C-myc mRNA refers to the messenger RNA (mRNA) that is transcribed from the c-myc gene, which is an important oncogene involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cellular metabolism. The c-myc gene encodes a transcription factor that plays a critical role in promoting cell proliferation and growth. C-myc is often turned on inappropriately in various cancers, leading to increased expression of its target genes which can contribute to uncontrolled cell division and tumorigenesis.
