Reprimo
Reprimo is a gene that in humans is encoded by the RPRM gene. This gene is a potential tumor suppressor and is a major mediator of the p53/TP53 tumor suppressor pathway. As a DNA damage inducible gene, it is involved in the induction of G2/M arrest.
Function[edit | edit source]
The protein encoded by the Reprimo gene is a cytoplasmic protein, which is capable of inducing cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. This protein is a DNA damage-inducible gene and may play a role in the cellular response to DNA damage. It is also suggested to function as a tumor suppressor.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Alterations in the Reprimo gene are associated with gastric cancer. The gene is frequently silenced in gastric cancer due to promoter hypermethylation, and this silencing is associated with tumor progression.
