Rrm2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ferric iron binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase activity, thioredoxin disulfide as acceptor. Involved in positive regulation of cell population proliferation and pyrimidine nucleobase metabolic process. Located in nuclear envelope. Used to study endometrial adenocarcinoma. Biomarker of urinary bladder cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RRM2 (ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2).

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 rat Rrm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
