title: Cloning and sequence of the feline max, and max 9 transcripts.
abstract: Max is the recently discovered heterodimeric partner of the human myc oncogene product. In this report we describe the cloning and sequencing of two differentially spliced transcripts of the feline max gene. Previously published data have shown both myc and max to be highly conserved amongst species, and indeed there is a 100% homology between feline max and max, while the murine equivalent myn is 98% homologous at the amino acid level, with the nucleotide sequences showing a similarity of 98% and 95% respectively.
