Activation of Telomerase RNA Gene Promoter Activity by NF-Y, Sp1, and the Retinoblastoma Protein and Repression by Sp3
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the human telomerase RNA component gene, hTERC is essential for telomerase activity. The hTERC gene is expressed during embryogenesis and then downregulated during normal development, leaving most adult somatic cells devoid of hTERC expression. During oncogenesis, however, hTERC is re-expressed consequently contributing to the unrestricted proliferative capacity of many human cancers. Thus the...
