Mammalian ribonucleotide reductase is a highly regulated activity essential for DNA synthesis and repair. The 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of mammalian ribonucleotide reductase R2 mRNA has been implicated in the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-mediated stabilization of mouse BALB/c 3T3 R2 message.
