[A MYC family member, MAX is a bHLH/ZIP transcription factor that forms a heterodimer with MYC and binds to a specific DNA site in the MYC gene and DDX18, a DEAD box family member. The level of MAX is not modulated with respect to cell proliferation or differentiation, unlike most immediate early gene products. MAX also interacts with MIX2. (OMIM and NCI) ( NCI )]
