Anti-Mcl 1 (Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1, MCL1, Mcl-1, Bcl 2 Related Protein EAT/Mcl1, Bcl-2-like Protein

Myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (MCL-1) is an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, first identified in differentiating ML-1 myeloid cells, and expressed in many different cell lines, tissues and a variety of tumors. The MCL-1 protein, localized to intracellular membranes and particularly mitochondrial membranes, has since been isolated in two distinct isoforms, known as MCL-1 long (MCL-1L) and MCL-1 short (MCL-1S). MCL-1S has been identified as a pro-apoptotic splice variant of MCL-1L, missing the transmembrane and BH1 and BH2 (Bcl-2 homology) domains. Interaction between these two antagonistic variants can act to regulate cell survival. , Applications: , Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
