Mcl1蛋白是bcl-2家族成员,它在调控肿瘤细胞的凋亡、增殖、分化等过程中起一定作用。
Mcl1 is an anti-apoptotic member of Bcl2 family originally isolated from the ML1 human myeloid leukemia cell line during phorbol ester-induced differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway. Mcl1 localizes to the mitochondria, interacts with and antagonizes pro-apoptotic Bcl2 family members, and inhibits apoptosis by a number of cytotoxic stimuli. It is involved in programing of differentiation and concomitant maintenance of viability but not of proliferation. Isoform 1 inhibits apoptosis while isoform 2 promotes it. Expression increases early during phorbol-ester induced differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway in myeloid leukemia cell lines ML1.
