Biological background
MCM7 (Minichromosome Maintenance, s. Cerevisiae, homolog of, 7), also called CDC47, is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The MCM7 gene is mapped to 7q22.1. MCM7 plays a pivotal role in the G1/S phase transition, orchestrating the correct assembly of replication forks on chromosomal DNA and ensuring that all the genome is replicated once and not more than once at each cell cycle. The MCM7 gene contains 15 exons. The miRNAs MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25 are clustered in a 5-prime to 3-prime orientation within intron 13. It has been found that MCM7 and the precursors of microRNAs (miRNAs) MIR106B, MIR93, and MIR25, all of which arise from intron 13 of the MCM7 gene, were overexpressed with almost perfect correlation in 5 of 10 human gastric tumors.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
