Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and occasional nuclear staining. Several cases of melanomas displayed strong positivity. Several lymphomas and gliomas were negative.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several testicular cancers and a few cases of other cancer tissues were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RRM2B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
p53R2
Description
Ribonucleotide reductase M2 B (TP53 inducible) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the small subunit of a p53-inducible ribonucleotide reductase. This heterotetrameric enzyme catalyzes the conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates to deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates. The product of this reaction is necessary for DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia-5, and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
