Alternative splicing of the telomerase catalytic subunit in human oocytes and embryos
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
The human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTCS) is a ribonucleoprotein which synthesizes telomere repeats on the ends of chromosomes. Telomerase activity is thought to be essential in maintaining normal telomere length in immortal (cancer) and germ cells. The objective of this study was to determine the gene expression of telomerase mRNA in human oocytes at different meiotic stages and in embryos. Normal and...
