RRM2 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
RRM2 
Aliases
C2orf48; FLJ25102 
Common name
ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 
Entrez Id
6241
Description
This 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, Sep 2009].
