Mcm5 - minichromosome maintenance complex component 5

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 nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of MCM complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 8. Orthologous to human MCM5 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
