Abstract excerpt
The mouse telomerase holoenzyme, which synthesizes telomeric DNA de novo, is a ribonucleoprotein complex that includes the mouse telomerase RNA component (mTERC), mouse telomerase-associated protein (mTEP1) and mouse telomerase reverse transcriptase (mTERT). To determine the role of telomerase in urethane-induced lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice we examined telomerase activity and the expression of each telomerase...
