GMNN Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O75496

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GMNN

Target Full Name

Geminin

Target Function

Inhibits DNA replication by preventing the incorporation of MCM complex into pre-replication complex (pre-RC). It is degraded during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. Its destruction at the metaphase-anaphase transition permits replication in the succeeding cell cycle. Inhibits histone acetyltransferase activity of KAT7/HBO1 in a CDT1-dependent manner, inhibiting histone H4 acetylation and DNA replication licensing. Inhibits the transcriptional activity of a subset of Hox proteins, enrolling them in cell proliferative control.

Target Involvement

Meier-Gorlin syndrome 6 (MGORS6)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Geminin family

Target Synonyms

DNA replication inhibitor; Gem; GEMI_HUMAN; Geminin; Geminin DNA replication inhibitor; GMNN; OTTHUMP00000039393; RP3 369A17.3

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein inhibits DNA replication by binding to DNA replication factor Cdt1, preventing the incorporation of minichromosome maintenance proteins into the pre-replication complex. The encoded protein is expressed during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle and is degraded by the anaphase-promoting complex during the metaphase-anaphase transition. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in several malignancies including colon, rectal and breast cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and two pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosome 16.
