Rabbit Anti-MCL1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
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.
Function:
Involved in the regulation of apoptosis versus cell survival, and in the maintenance of viability but not of proliferation. Mediates its effects by interactions with a number of other regulators of apoptosis. Isoform 1 inhibits apoptosis. Isoform 2 promotes apoptosis.
Subunit:
Interacts with BAD, BOK, BIK and SFM (By similarity). Interacts with PMAIP1. Isoform 1 interacts with BAX, BAK1, TPT1 and BCL2L11. Heterodimer of isoform 1 and isoform 2. Homodimers of isoform 1 or isoform 2 are not detected. Isoform 2 does not interact with pro-apoptotic BCL2-related proteins.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein (Potential). Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Note=Cytoplasmic, associated with mitochondria.
Post-translational modifications:
Cleaved by CASP3 during apoptosis. In intact cells cleavage occurs preferentially after Asp-127, yielding a pro-apoptotic 28 kDa SLCterminal fragment.
Rapidly degraded in the absence of phosphorylation on Thr-163 in the PEST region.
Phosphorylated on Thr-163. Treatment with taxol or okadaic acid induces phosphorylation on additional sites.
Similarity:
Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
