Western blot analysis of Mcl-1. Lysates from K-562 cells were probed with anti-human Mcl-1 antibody (clone 22, Cat. No. 559027) at a concentration of 2 µg/ml. Mcl-1 is identified at approximately 40 kDa.

Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
The antibody is tested by Western blot on K-562 cell lysate (ATCC CCL-243). Other applications include immunoprecipitation (1-2 µg/ml).
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

The Bcl-2 family of proteins plays a pivotal role in determining the life and death of a cell. Members of the Bcl-2 family all possess at least one of four conserved Bcl-2 homology domains (BH1-BH4) which mediate protein-protein interactions. They can be divided into molecules that have either an anti-apoptotic or pro-apoptotic function. The ratio between these two groups of molecules can help determine whether a cell lives or dies. The majority of anti-apoptotic family members contain common BH1-BH4 domains and are most similar to Bcl-2. Mcl-1 is a member of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 group of proteins, including Bcl-x, Bcl-w, A1/Bfl-1, Boo/Diva, and Nr-13. Mcl-1 was cloned from the ML-1 human myeoblastic leukemia cell line. Mcl-1 localizes to the mitochrondria, like Bcl-2, but also associates with membranes via its C-terminal hydrophobic domain. Further studies have shown that Mcl-1 is upregulated in response to the GM-CSF and IL-3 cytokine signaling pathways and that this regulation of Mcl-1 is controlled at the level of transcription. Mcl-1 is detected at approximately 40 kDa in SDS/PAGE.
