이 유전자에 의해 암호화된 단백질은 진핵 게놈 복제의 시작에 관여하는 보존도가 높은 MCM(미니크로모솜 유지 단백질) 중 하나이다.MCM 단백질에 의해 형성된 육각 단백질 복합체는 복제 전 복합체(pre-RC)의 핵심 성분으로 복제 포크 형성과 다른 DNA 복제 관련 단백질의 모집에 관여할 수 있다.이 단백질은 MCM2-7로 구성된 단백질 복합체의 서브 유닛이다.MCM5/CDC46과 직접 상호작용하는 것으로 나타났다.이 단백질은 또한 상호작용을 하므로 염색질 관련 아세틸전달효소인 MCM3AP에 의해 아세틸화된다.이 단백질의 아세틸화는 DNA 복제와 세포 주기 진행의 시작을 억제한다.[6]
