AHP1526 specifically recognises the nuclear protein MCM5 (mini chromosome maintenance protein 5), a putative DNA replicative helicase and member of the MCM family, critical during the initiation of DNA replication.
During the G1 phase of the cell cycle the MCM proteins, part of the pre-replicative complex which assembles at replication origins, undergo phosphorylation by kinases including cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and Cdc7/Dbf4 (DDK), although the latter does not appear to phosphorylate MCM5 in vitro. The level of MCM5 is upregulated during the G1/S cell cycle phase and studies have shown a correlation between increasing levels of MCM5 and increased Stat1-mediated transcription activation in response to IFNgamma.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1526 detects a band of approximately 95kDa in HeLa cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human MCM5 was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
