| Tissue Specificity | High levels found in the brain, heart and lung while lower levels are seen in the liver, kidney and skeletal muscle. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Reversible lysine acetylation might regulate the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of specific Max complexes. |
| Function | Transcription regulator. Forms a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex with MYC or MAD which recognizes the core sequence 5'-CACGATG-3'. The MYC:MAX complex is a transcriptional activator, whereas the MAD:MAX complex is a repressor. May repress transcription via the recruitment of a chromatin remodeling complex containing H3 'Lys-9' histone methyltransferase activity. Represses MYC transcriptional activity from E-box elements. |
