The 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.1) Lau, K.M., et al. Oncogene 29(40):5475-5489(2010)
