MCM5 Antibody

Minichromosome maintenance, S. cerevisiae, homolog of, 5, also known as CDC46, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM5 gene. The protein is structurally very similar to the CDC46 protein from S. cerevisiae, a protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication. And it is a member of the MCM family of chromatin-binding proteins and can interact with at least two other members of this family. The MCM5 gene contains 16 exons and 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.
