Mcm4 Antibody (D-4): sc-166193

Mcm4 Antibody (D-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Mcm4 in various species by applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mcm4 is a crucial member of the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family, which plays a vital role in the regulation of DNA replication, ensuring that DNA is replicated only once during each cell cycle. MCM proteins, including Mcm4, are essential for the formation of the pre-replicative complex and are activated during the transition from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. Mcm4, along with other MCM proteins, contains an ATP-binding motif that facilitates the ATP-dependent unwinding of double-stranded DNA, a critical step for the initiation of DNA replication. Additionally, Mcm4 interacts with various regulatory proteins, including E2F transcription factors, which enhance expression, and protein kinases that help maintain the post-replicative state of the cell. Notably, Mcm4 is part of a complex that exhibits DNA helicase activity, which is essential for unwinding DNA strands during replication. Anti-Mcm4 antibody (D-4) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying cell cycle regulation, DNA replication mechanisms, and the intricate interactions of MCM proteins in various biological contexts.
