Mcm8 - minichromosome maintenance 8 homologous recombination repair factor

Predicted to enable several functions, including chromatin binding activity; mismatch repair complex binding activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to single-stranded DNA helicase activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; female gamete generation; and male gamete generation. Part of MCM8-MCM9 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency 10. Orthologous to human MCM8 (minichromosome maintenance 8 homologous recombination repair factor).
