Reprimo, also known as TP53 dependent G2 arrest mediator candidate or RPRM, is a 109 amino acid cytoplasmic protein belonging to the Reprimo family, which is involved in the regulation of p53-dependent G2 arrest of the cell cycle. Reprimo may initiate cell cycle arrest by inhibiting CDC2 and nuclear translocation of the CDC2 cyclin B1 complex. A highly glycosylated protein, Reprimo also plays a role in cell cycle surveillance and DNA repair. Hypermethylation of Reprimo can lead to its transcriptional repression, which may increase pathogenesis of some types of human cancers. Reprimo has been identified as a potential biomarker for early detection multiple cancers. The gene encoding Reprimo maps to human chromosome 2, which houses over 1,400 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome.
