The enzyme that makes DNA building blocks from RNA building blocks. Gemcitabine's active form shuts it down and hydroxyurea quenches its catalytic radical, starving dividing cells of the nucleotides they need. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Large catalytic subunit of ribonucleotide reductase; target of gemcitabine diphosphate, with the small subunit RRM2 quenched by hydroxyurea.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | all% | Housekeeping enzyme present in every dividing cell (DNA building-block synthesis); not a selection marker, which is why these drugs are given by cancer type rather than by test. |
