Mini chromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) is a human nuclear protein. This cell-cycle regulatory protein is similar to members of the family of early S-phase proteins and is expressed in four phases of the cell cycle. MCM2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 3q21.3. MCM2 protein is a member of eukaryal MCM2–7 subunits and is expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of various tissues.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide derived from internal region of human MCM2 protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mini chromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) is involved in regulating DNA replication, is crucial in the cell cycle. From its localization, CDCL1 is a candidate for an oncogene affected by chromosomal breaks in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MCM-2 levels are elevated in salivary gland tumors and malignant lesions of the oral cavity. It serves as a marker for the detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MCM2 overexpression also displays pro-apoptotic and apoptotic. MCM2 is also implicated in nonsyndromic hearing loss.

Gene copy number variations (CNVs) have been reported to be frequent in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with potential prognostic value for some. However, their clinical utility, especially to guide treatment of metastatic disease remains to be established. Our objectives were

BM28, a newly recognized human nuclear protein, possibly plays an important role in two crucial steps of the cell cycle e.g. the onset of DNA replication and cell division. It shows significant similarity to members of a recently defined family
We report that DNA damage induced by topoisomerase inhibitors, including etoposide (ETO), results in a potent block to HIV-1 infection in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). SAMHD1 suppresses viral reverse transcription (RT) through depletion of cellular dNTPs but is naturally switched

Proteins necessary for DNA replication and normal regulation for the cell cycle include minichromosome maintenance-2 (Mcm-2). Overexpression of this protein in several premalignant and malignant lesions has been observed. In this study, the diagnostic value of Mcm-2 expression in distinguishing
An unresolved question is how HIV-1 achieves efficient replication in terminally differentiated macrophages despite the restriction factor SAMHD1. We reveal inducible changes in expression of cell cycle-associated proteins including MCM2 and cyclins A, E, D1/D3 in macrophages, without evidence for
