MyBioSource.com's MCM4 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, ELISA, and Western Blot.
Description
Description: 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.
Post Translational Modifications: Sumoylated; SUMO2 modified in response to stress caused by inhibition of proteasome activity (in vitro).
Subunit Structure: Component of the MCM2-7 complex (PubMed:9305914, PubMed:16899510). The complex forms a toroidal hexameric ring with the proposed subunit order MCM2-MCM6-MCM4-MCM7-MCM3-MCM5 (Probable). Interacts with MCMBP (PubMed:17296731).
Similarity: Belongs to the MCM family
