NCIt definition : Protein MCM10 homolog (875 aa, 98 kDa) is encoded by the human MCM10 gene. This protein
is involved in both replication and maintenance of DNA.;
NCIt note : MCM10 is regulated by proteolysis and phosphorylation in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
MCM10 interacts with ORC2 and with MCM2 and MCM6 of the hexameric MCM2-7 protein complex,
a key component of the pre-replication complex and likely involved in formation of
replication forks and in recruitment of replication factors. Involved in S phase progression,
MCM10 may release MCM2-7 from the origin of replication triggering DNA replication.;
