  • Clone: A2.7A3.F12.A7
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IF ; WB
  • Description: Mini Chromosome Maintenance protein-5 (MCM5) is a component of the prereplicative complex that is essential for DNA replication. MCM proteins 2-7 form a family of DNA helicases implicated at the initiation step of DNA synthesis. MCM5 expression may be applicable in the detection of a number of cancers including cervical, bladder, lung and oesophageal.
