Gene information for MCM7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4176
Official gene symbolMCM7
Full nameminichromosome maintenance complex component 7
Aliases,CDC47,MCM2,P1.1-MCM3,P1CDC47,P85MCM,PNAS146,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq]
