gene: mcm-2 [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 unwinding involved in DNA replication; double-strand break repair via break-induced replication; and mitotic DNA replication initiation. Located in condensed chromosome and pronucleus. Expressed in excretory cell; intestine; and uterus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 70. Is an ortholog of human MCM2 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 2).
