The Wilms' Tumor 1 Tumor Suppressor Gene Represses Transcription of the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Gene
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Regulation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene is the primary determinant for telomerase enzyme activity, which is found in tumor cells but is largely absent from normal somatic cells. Recent studies have shown that Myc protein can transcriptionally activate the hTERT gene. However, little is known about the repression mechanism of the hTERT gene and telomerase enzyme. Here, we developed an...
