Rabbit anti-Human MCM5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P33992

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MCM5

Target Full Name

DNA replication licensing factor MCM5

Target Function

Acts as component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex) which is the putative replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. The active ATPase sites in the MCM2-7 ring are formed through the interaction surfaces of two neighboring subunits such that a critical structure of a conserved arginine finger motif is provided in trans relative to the ATP-binding site of the Walker A box of the adjacent subunit. The six ATPase active sites, however, are likely to contribute differentially to the complex helicase activity.

Target Involvement

Meier-Gorlin syndrome 8 (MGORS8)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Target Protein Families

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is structurally very similar to the CDC46 protein from S. cerevisiae, a protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication. The encoded protein is a member of the MCM family of chromatin-binding proteins and can interact with at least two other members of this family. The encoded protein is upregulated in the transition from the G0 to G1/S phase of the cell cycle and may actively participate in cell cycle regulation.
