Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MCM2 antibody (AB4461)
ab4461 staining MCM2 in Human placenta.
Left panel : with primary antibody at 4 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus), at room temperature : sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers EDTA pH 9.0. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Biological function summary
MCM2 is part of the heterohexameric MCM complex including other proteins like MCM3 to MCM7. This complex serves as a helicase unwinding DNA to allow replication machinery access to the template strand. The activity of the MCM complex is tightly regulated to ensure that every section of genomic DNA is replicated once per cell cycle. Its proper function ensures genetic information replication accuracy and contributes to genome stability.
Pathways
MCM2 participates in essential biological processes such as the DNA replication pathway and the cell cycle regulatory pathway. The presence of MCM2 is critical for the G1/S transition phase of the cell cycle. It interacts with other proteins including CDC45 and GINS forming the active CMG helicase complex. This complex is pivotal in orchestrating the replication machinery and signaling pathway responses to ensure appropriate replication origin firing and accurate DNA synthesis.
