Abstract excerpt
Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL1), an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein plays a major role in the control of apoptosis as the regulator of mitochondrial permeability which is deregulated in various solid and hematological malignancies. Interaction of the executioner proteins Bak/Bax with anti-apoptotic MCL1 and its cellular composition determines the apoptotic or survival pathway. Mutations act at various levels...
