Description:
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. MCM6 is one of the proteins (MCM2-7) that play a role in 'licensing' the replication of DNA and are thought to bind to DNA after mitosis (G1) and to be removed from the DNA during replication (S phase). Low levels of MCM6 are linked with replication stress and functional deterioration of haematopoietic stem cells. Genetic variance in MCM6 gene associated with haematological parameters (e.g., white blood cell count).

Synonyms: Mis5 , P105MCM , MCG40308
