Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 is a protein belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
The longer gene product (isoform 1) enhances cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis while the alternatively spliced shorter gene product (isoform 2) promotes apoptosis and is death-inducing
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 while isoform 2 promotes it.
