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:25661590, PubMed:32453425, PubMed:34694004, PubMed:34700328, PubMed:35585232, 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.

Notes

ab248716 is the carrier-free version of Anti-MCM7/PRL antibody [EPR1973Y] ab134194.

Mouse, Rat: We have preliminary internal testing data to indicate this antibody may not react with these species. Please contact us for more information.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

The MCM7 (Minichromosome Maintenance Complex Component 7) also known as PRL serves an important mechanical role in DNA replication. It is part of the MCM2-7 complex a helicase essential for the initiation and elongation phases of DNA replication. MCM7 has a molecular mass of approximately 81 kDa and is found expressed in the nucleus of proliferating cells. It is essential for unwinding the DNA helix preparing it for replication.

Biological function summary

MCM7 is involved in maintaining genomic stability and ensuring accurate DNA replication. As part of the larger MCM2-7 hexameric complex it collaborates with other members to form the core component of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC). By loading onto replication origins MCM7 helps license the DNA for duplication. This function contributes to cell cycle progression particularly the S phase where DNA synthesis occurs.

Pathways

MCM7 plays an important role in DNA replication-related signaling pathways. It functions within the cell cycle and DNA replication pathways interacting closely with other essential proteins like CDC45 and GINS complex. These partnerships facilitate the transition from the G1 to the S phase triggering the replication machinery's activation and ensuring cell division processes continue smoothly.

Associated diseases and disorders

MCM7 has been associated with various cancers including breast and prostate cancer. Aberrant expression or dysregulation of MCM7 contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation linking it to tumorigenesis. Also MCM7 interacts with proteins such as cyclin D1 in certain oncogenic pathways emphasizing its role in the progression of cancerous conditions. Understanding these interactions offers insights into potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
