MCM

MCM may stand for:

Science and technology

  • Thousand circular mils or kcmil, the wire gauge is equivalent cross sectional area (500 MCM = 500,000 circular mils)
  • Million cubic metre, the unit of volume
  • M-C-M', Money-Commodity-Money, one of the forms of commodity trade in the theory of Karl Marx
  • Minichromosome maintenance protein, which forms DNA helicase in eukaryotic species
  • Mobil Composition of Matter or Mobil Crystalline Material, a family of porous silicate-based materials, either zeolitic zeolite in nature (e.g. MCM-22) or non-crystalline mesostructures (e.g. MCM-41, MCM-48)
  • Multi-chip module, a specialized electronic package
  • Macrocephaly-capillary malformation (M-CM), a rare genetic syndrome
  • Methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase, an enzyme
  • Companies and organizations

  • Magic Circle Music, a heavy metal record label
  • Magic City Misfits, a roller derby team from Jacksonville, FL
  • Maranatha Campus Ministries
  • Marine Corps Marathon, a 26-mile marathon held in Arlington, VA and Washington, DC
  • Maryland Conservatory of Music, a music school
  • Serum response factor

    Serum response factor, also known as SRF, is a transcription factor.

    Function

    Serum response factor is a member of the MADS (MCM1, Agamous, Deficiens, and SRF) box superfamily of transcription factors. This protein binds to the serum response element (SRE) in the promoter region of target genes. This protein regulates the activity of many immediate early genes, for example c-fos, and thereby participates in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, cell growth, and cell differentiation. This gene is the downstream target of many pathways; for example, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK) that acts through the ternary complex factors (TCFs).

    SRF is important during the development of the embryo, as it has been linked to the formation of mesoderm. In the fully developed mammal, SRF is crucial for the growth of skeletal muscle. Interaction of SRF with other proteins, such as steroid hormone receptors, may contribute to regulation of muscle growth by steroids. Interaction of SRF with other proteins such as myocardin or Elk-1 may enhance or suppress expression of genes important for growth of vascular smooth muscle.

    MCM5

    DNA replication licensing factor MCM5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM5 gene.

    Function

    The protein encoded by this gene is structurally very similar to the CDC46 protein from S. cerevisiae, a protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication. The encoded protein is a member of the MCM family of chromatin-binding proteins and can interact with at least two other members of this family. The encoded protein is upregulated in the transition from the G0 to G1/S phase of the cell cycle and may actively participate in cell cycle regulation.
