Anti-MCM8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein minichromosome maintenance 8 homologous recombination repair factor. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 840 amino acid residues and a mass of 93.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the placenta, lung and pancreas. A member of the MCM protein family, MCM8 is a known component of the MCM8-MCM9 complex, a complex involved in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks (DBSs) and DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) by homologous recombination (HR). The MCM8 gene has been associated with the disease, Premature ovarian failure. Synonyms for this target antigen include DNA replication licensing factor MCM8, MCM8 minichromosome maintenance deficient 8, REC homolog, minichromosome maintenance complex component 8, and DNA helicase MCM8. A number of MCM8 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
