I have some apoptotic proteins identified from breast cancer datasets. I have a general queres in my mind.
1) How does apoptotic proteins function in cancer cells?
2) Would inhibiting an upregulated apoptotic protein would be feasible via molecular docking if we are aiming for a therapeutic alternative?

You can go through the literature survey for function of apoptotic protein in cancer. And, docking is common way to find out inhibitor (target compound) validate by MD simulation and binding free energy as well as you have to perform on cancer apoptotic cells the you can conclude your authentic results.
Dear Prithvi Singh
The simple answer is Yes, further you can go through this article for more information.

Dear Dr Sing,
To find the function of proteins you can use uniprot database or genecard.
Before molecular docking, you should check the druggability of your protein by pockdrug. By molecular docking and MD you can find best compounds
