Reduced Mcm2 Expression Results in Severe Stem/Progenitor Cell Deficiency and Cancer
23 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Mcm2 is a component of the DNA replication licensing complex that marks DNA replication origins during G1 of the cell cycle for use in the subsequent S-phase. It is expressed in stem/progenitor cells in a variety of regenerative tissues in mammals. Here, we have used the Mcm2 gene to develop a transgenic mouse in which somatic stem/progenitor cells can be genetically modified in the adult. In these mice, a...
