A member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, which play a crucial role in regulating apoptosis, or programmed cell death. In cancer, Mcl-1 is often overexpressed, contributing to the development and progression of various types of tumors.
Mcl-1 is often overexpressed in several cancers, including hematological malignancies (like leukemia and lymphoma) and solid tumors (such as breast, lung, and prostate cancers).
Mcl-1 inhibits apoptosis by binding to pro-apoptotic proteins, preventing them from triggering the cell death pathway.
