gene: mcm-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to 3'-5' DNA helicase activity and single-stranded DNA helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication initiation and double-strand break repair via break-induced replication. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of MCM complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 8. Is an ortholog of human MCM5 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 5).
