Anti-MCM5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein minichromosome maintenance complex component 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 734 amino acid residues and a mass of 82.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and chromosomes. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the MCM protein family, MCM5 is known to act as component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex) which is the replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. Synonyms for this target antigen include MGORS8, P1-CDC46, DNA replication licensing factor MCM5, CDC46 homolog, MCM5 minichromosome maintenance deficient 5, cell division cycle 46, and CDC46. MCM5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of MCM5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
