(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6241
Official gene symbolRRM2
Full nameribonucleotide reductase M2
Aliases,R2,RR2,RR2M,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of two non-identical subunits for ribonucleotide reductase. This reductase catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides. Synthesis of the encoded protein (M2) is regulated in a cell-cycle dependent fashion. Transcription from this gene can initiate from alternative promoters, which results in two isoforms that differ in the lengths of their N-termini. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1 and X. [provided by RefSeq]
