Rrm2b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase activity, thioredoxin disulfide as acceptor. Involved in mitochondrial DNA replication and positive regulation of G0 to G1 transition. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA repair; negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and nucleoside phosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 5; mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 8a; and mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 8b. Orthologous to human RRM2B (ribonucleotide reductase regulatory TP53 inducible subunit M2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rrm2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
