NCIt definition : Human RRM2 wild-type allele is located within 2p25-p24 and is approximately 8 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase M2 subunit
protein, plays a role in the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotide precursors
for DNA synthesis in dividing cells.;
NCIt note : Overexpression of the RRM2 gene is associated with resistance to a variety of chemotherapeutic
agents.;
