Description
Product Characteristics:
Regulatory subunit for CDC7 which activates its kinase activity thereby playing a central role in DNA replication and cell proliferation. Required for progression of S phase. The complex CDC7-DBF4A selectively phosphorylates MCM2 subunit at 'Ser-40' and 'Ser-53' and then is involved in regulating the initiation of DNA replication during cell cycle.Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in testis and thymus. Expressed also in most cancer cells lines.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: Activator of S phase kinase, ASK, Chfon homolog A, DBF4, DBF4 type zinc finger containing protein 1, DBF4-type zinc finger-containing protein 1, DBF4A, DBF4A_HUMAN, Protein DBF4 homolog A, ZDBF1.
Target Information: Regulatory subunit for cdc7 which activates its kinase activity thereby playing a central role in DNA replication and cell proliferation. Not required during the initiation of DNA replication in egg and during early embryonic development but is required later and throughout development. The complex cdc7-dbf4a phosphorylates mcm2 subunit
