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. This protein
contains the central domain that is conserved among the MCM
proteins. This protein has been shown to co-immunoprecipitate with
MCM4, 6 and 7, which suggests that it may interact with other MCM
proteins and play a role in DNA replication. Alternatively spliced
transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
