(Induced Myeloid Leukemia Cell Differentiation Protein Mcl-1 (MCL1))
Myeloid cell leukimia-1 (Mcl-1) is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that can act to promote cell survival (reviewed in 1). While the mechanism by which Mcl-1 inhibits apoptosis is not known, it is thought that it may heterodimerize and neutralize pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family such as Bim or Bak (2,3). Mcl-1 was originally identified in differentiating myeloid cells (4), but has since been shown to be expressed in multiple cell types. Mcl-1 is essential for embryogenesis (5) and for the development and maintenance of B and T lymphocytes in animals (3). Mcl-1 exists as at least two distinct isoforms designated Mcl-1L and Mcl-1S. In marked contrast to the larger isoform of Mcl-1, overexpression of Mcl-1S promotes cell death (6).Synonyms: BCL2L3, Bcl-2-like protein 3, Bcl-2-related protein, EAT, Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1, mcl1/EAT, r004
