Anti-MCM7, clone 3H11

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. MCM7 (Minichromosome Maintenance, s. Cerevisiae, homolog of, 7), also called CDC47, is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The MCM7 gene is mapped to 7q22.1. MCM7 plays a pivotal role in the G1/S phase transition, orchestrating the correct assembly of replication forks on chromosomal DNA and ensuring that all the genome is replicated once and not more than once at each cell cycle. The MCM7 gene contains 15 exons. The miRNAs MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25 are clustered in a 5-prime to 3-prime orientation within intron 13. It has been found that MCM7 and the precursors of microRNAs (miRNAs) MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25, all of which arise from intron 13 of the MCM7 gene, were overexpressed with almost perfect correlation in 5 of 10 human gastric tumors. Protein function: Acts as a component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex) which is the replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. Core component of CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase, the molecular machine that unwinds template DNA during replication, and around which the replisome is built (PubMed:32453425, PubMed:34694004, PubMed:34700328, PubMed:35585232, PubMed:25661590, PubMed:9305914). 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 (PubMed:32453425). Required for S-phase checkpoint activation upon UV-induced damage.
