Myeloid Cell Leukemia Sequence 1 (Mcl-1)

Target
Mcl-1
Molecular classification
BCL2 family protein, Anti-apoptotic protein
01

Overview

Myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1) is a member of the BCL2 family, acting as an anti-apoptotic regulator that promotes cell survival. Overexpression is frequently observed in cancers contributing to tumor progression and therapy resistance. Targeting Mcl-1 can sensitize cancer cells to apoptotic stimuli, but challenges remain due to its structural features and essential physiological roles.
