MCM7 Antibody

MCM7 encodes a protein that is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by the MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre_RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. The MCM complex consisting of this protein and MCM2, 4 and 6 proteins possesses DNA helicase activity, and may act as a DNA unwinding enzyme. Cyclin D1-dependent kinase, CDK4, is found to associate with this protein, and may regulate the binding of this protein with the tumorsuppressor protein RB1/RB.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store MCM7 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

MCM7 antibody can be used for detection of MCM7 by ELISA at 1:62500. MCM7 antibody can be used for detection of MCM7 by western blot at 2.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
