MyBioSource.com's MCM6 Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The MCM6 Polyclonal Antibody was generated using MCM6, and P105MCM as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
The MCM genes were firstly identified in yeast defective in minichromosome maintenance and have since been shown to have roles in the progression of the cell cycle, and most of them are cell division control genes[PMID: 18096807]. MCM2-7 complex are suggested to be 'DNA licensing factors' which bind to the DNA after mitosis and enable DNA replication before being removed during S phase. Mini-chromosome maintenance 6 (MCM6) is one component of the MCM2-7 complex which is the putative replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells[PMID: 9305914]. MCM6 single subunit forms homohexamer and contains an ATP-dependent and replication fork stimulated 3' to 5' DNA unwinding activity along with intrinsic DNA-dependent ATPase and ATP-binding activities [PMID:21336027]
