anti-MCM2 antibody [CRCT2.1]
anti-MCM2 antibody [CRCT2.1] for IHC-Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections,Western blot and Human
Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [CRCT2.1] recognizes MCM2 Mouse anti Human MCM2 antibody, clone CRCT2. 1 recognizes human DNA replication licensing factor MCM2, also known as Mcm2, Nuclear protein BM28 or mini chromosome maintenance protein-2. Mcm-2 is a 904 amino acid ~125kDa nuclear protein involved in the control of DNA replication. Mouse anti Human MCM2 antibody, clone CRCT2. 1 has been used successfully for the detection of human MCM2 in ovarian adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues (Gakiopoulou et al. 2007). |

| Gene Symbol | MCM2 |
| Gene Full Name | minichromosome maintenance complex component 2 |
| Background | The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are involved in the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre_RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. This protein forms a complex with MCM4, 6, and 7, and has been shown to regulate the helicase activity of the complex. This protein is phosphorylated, and thus regulated by, protein kinases CDC2 and CDC7. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012] |
| 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. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 102 kDa |
| PTM | 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. [UniProt] |
