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. Required for the entry in S phase and for cell division.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the MCM family.
    Contains 1 MCM domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Phosphorylated on Ser-108 by ATR in proliferating cells. Ser-108 proliferation is increased by genotoxic agents. Ser-40 is mediated by the CDC7-DBF4 and CDC7-DBF4B complexes, while Ser-53 phosphorylation is only mediated by the CDC7-DBF4 complex. Phosphorylation by the CDC7-DBF4 complex during G1/S phase is required for the initiation of DNA replication.

    A customer needs an ab to human MCM2 for IHC and IF. The closest I found is ab6153, but it was not tested for IF. Would you expect it to be applicable for IF? (We know that the abpromise will not be valid for IF).

    The antibody has good chances of working in other types of immunohistochemistry other than those already tested as it has the ability to recognise the native form of the protein. If the customer means IF as in ICC/IF I would recommend to try fixing t...
