Minichromosome maintenance complex component 7 (MCM7) is one of the mini-chromosome maintenance proteins th at are crucial for eukaryotic genome replication. MCM proteins are key components of the pre-replication complex, recruit replication-related proteins and form replication forks. MCM7 interacts with receptor for activated protein kinase C 1 (RACK1) and controls DNA synthesis and the entry of the cells into S phase.
