Ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase subunit M2 B is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RRM2Bgene.[1][2][3][4] The gene encoding the RRM2B protein is located on chromosome 8, at position 8q23.1. The gene and its products are also known by designations MTDPS8A, MTDPS8B, and p53R2.
RRM2B codes for one of two versions of the R2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase, which generates nucleotide precursors required for DNA replication by reducing ribonucleosidediphosphates to deoxyribonucloside diphosphates. The version of R2 encoded by RRM2B is induced by p53, and is required for normal DNA repair and mtDNA synthesis in non-proliferating cells. The other form of R2 is expressed only in dividing cells.[5]
Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause progressive external ophthalmoplegia.[12]
Increased expression of RRM2B has been correlated with gemcitabine resistance in human cholangiocarcinoma cells[13] and may be predictive of lack of clinical benefit from gemcitabine for human cancers.
