Biochem/physiol Actions

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) participates in DNA replication and repair. It acts as an auxiliary factor of polymerase δ. It plays a key role in the maturation of Okazaki fragments. It can be used as a prognostic and diagnostic marker in chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL). High expression of PCNA protein is seen in breast and duodenal cancers.

General description

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a nuclear protein, is expressed ubiquitously in mammals. This homotrimer protein is a doughnut-shaped molecule that is expressed at high levels in the thymus, bone marrow, fetal liver, and few cells of the small intestine and colon. PCNA is mainly located in the nucleus. The PCNA gene is a single-copy gene mapped to human chromosome 20p13.
