RRM 1基因编码的功能和结构描述

这个基因编码核糖核苷酸还原酶的大的催化亚单位，这是一种将核糖核苷酸转化为脱氧核糖核苷酸所必需的酶。在细胞周期的S阶段以及多个DNA修复过程中，可用的脱氧核糖核苷酸池对DNA复制很重要。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体。

This gene encodes the large and catalytic subunit of ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme essential for the conversion of ribonucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides. A pool of available deoxyribonucleotides is important for DNA replication during S phase of the cell cycle as well as multiple DNA repair processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
