Mcm2 transcripts are maternally contributed to the embryo and disappear at cellularization. They are expressed uniformly at germ band extension and are subsequently restricted to a pattern that includes continuous expression in the CNS and transient expression in a number of other tissues, including the Malpighian tubules and the gut.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

Physical interactions exist between three MCM proteins, dpa, Mcm2 and Mcm5. The three proteins reside predominantly in stable multi-protein complexes of about 600kD. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicate there are at least two distinct 600kD complexes, one of which includes Mcm5 and the other dpa.
For the yeast genes MCM stands for 'minichromosome maintenance'.
Mcm2 plays a role in the regulation of DNA replication analogous to that of its yeast counterpart (MCM2).
