MCL-1 is a protein found in our bodies that some of our cells use to maintain normal function and protect themselves. Researchers have found that certain kinds of cancer cells have a large amount of this protein. This may contribute to the cancer cells ability to rapidly grow, and help it protect itself from anticancer therapy.
A new type of drug, an MCL-1 inhibitor, is being tested for use in multiple myeloma. Researchers think they could work by preventing cancer cells from using the MCL-1 protein, which may cause cell death.
