MCM5 minichromosome maintenance complex component 5

Gene ID: 4174, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CDC46; MGORS8; P1-CDC46

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is structurally very similar to the CDC46 protein from S. cerevisiae, a protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication. The encoded protein is a member of the MCM family of chromatin-binding proteins and can interact with at least two other members of this family. The encoded protein is upregulated in the transition from the G0 to G1/S phase of the cell cycle and may actively participate in cell cycle regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
