Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human MCL1 recombinant protein (Position: M1-R350). Human MCL1 shares 82% and 78% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat MCL1, respectively. (reported region: M1-R350).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 37 kDa; calculated MW: 37337 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1; Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1. MCL1, also known as myeloid cell leukemia 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded the MCL1 gene. It is mapped to 1q21.3. MCL1 is a potent multidomain antiapoptotic protein of the BCL2 family that heterodimerizes with other BCL2 family members to protect against apoptotic cell death. MCL1 as an attractive candidate for regulation of hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis that is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and regulated by growth factor signals. MCL1 is a critical and specific regulator essential for ensuring the homeostasis of early hematopoietic progenitors. During mitotic arrest, MCL1 protein levels decline markedly, through a posttranslational mechanism, potentiating cell death. Phosphorylation of MCL1 s its interaction with the tumor suppressor protein FBW7, which is the substrate-binding component of a ubiquitin ligase complex. Functional note: 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. . Reported localization: Membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Cytoplasmic, associated with mitochondria. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitously expressed, with more abundant expression in the brain.
