Anti-MCM7 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 3H11)

MCM7 (Minichromosome Maintenance, s. Cerevisiae, homolog of, 7), also called CDC47, FORMERLY, is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The MCM7 gene is mapped to 7q22.1. MCM7 plays a pivotal role in the G1/S phase transition, orchestrating the correct assembly of replication forks on chromosomal DNA and ensuring that all the genome is replicated once and not more than once at each cell cycle. The MCM7 gene contains 15 exons. The miRNAs MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25 are clustered in a 5-prime to 3-prime orientation within intron 13. It has been found that MCM7 and the precursors of microRNAs (miRNAs) MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25, all of which arise from intron 13 of the MCM7 gene, were overexpressed with almost perfect correlation in 5 of 10 human gastric tumors.

Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. The association of catenins to cadherins produces a complex which is linked to the actin filament network, and which seems to be of primary importance for cadherins cell-adhesion properties. Can associate with both E- and N-cadherins. Originally believed to be a stable component of E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes and to mediate the linkage of cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton at adherens junctions. In contrast, cortical actin was found to be much more dynamic than E-cadherin/catenin complexes and CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex suggesting a different linkage between actin and adherens junctions components. The homodimeric form may regulate actin filament assembly and inhibit actin branching by competing with the Arp2/3 complex for binding to actin filaments. May play a crucial role in cell differentiation.
