MCM9 minichromosome maintenance 9 homologous recombination repair factor

Gene ID: 254394, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ODG4; MCMDC1; C6orf61; dJ329L24.1; dJ329L24.3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. Binding of this protein to chromatin has been shown to be a pre-requisite for recruiting the MCM2-7 helicase to DNA replication origins. This protein also binds, and is a positive regulator of, the chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1, CDT1. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
