OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. Binding of this protein to chromatin has been shown to be a pre-requisite for recruiting the MCM2-7 helicase to DNA replication origins. This protein also binds, and is a positive regulator of, the chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1, CDT1. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MCM9 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MCM9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MCM9 could matter depends on whether native MCM9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MCM9 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MCM9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
