About MCM8

Cytogenetic location: 20p12.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:5,950,652-5,998,977 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 3.9), lymph node (RPKM 1.8) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

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 mini-chromosome maintenance proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex 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 mini-chromosome maintenance proteins. The encoded protein may interact with other mini-chromosome maintenance proteins and play a role in DNA replication. This gene may be associated with length of reproductive lifespan and menopause. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
