General description
MCM4 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 4) is a minichromosome maintenance (MCM) protein belonging to the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family. It consists of DNA-dependent ATPase motif in the central domain.

DNA replication licensing factor MCM4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MCM4 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 4) forms a complex by binding to other MCM proteins (MCM 2-7). The MCM complex plays a crucial role in the DNA replication. It initiates the unwinding of DNA strands during replication. The DNA synthesis during replication is highly dependent on the MCM4 phosphorylation. The rate of DNA synthesis is inversely proportionate with the MCM4 phosphorylation. It also exerts ATPase activity and DNA helicase activity. Point mutation of MCM4 gene leads to the mammary carcinoma by disrupting the normal replication flow. It may have an impact on the cell proliferation of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
