MCL1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
MCL1 
Aliases
BCL2L3; Mcl-1 
Common name
MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member 
Entrez Id
4170
Description
This gene encodes an anti-apoptotic protein, which is a member of the Bcl-2 family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The longest gene product (isoform 1) enhances cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis while the alternatively spliced shorter gene products (isoform 2 and isoform 3) promote apoptosis and are death-inducing.
