Abstract excerpt
Myc overexpression is a hallmark of human cancer and promotes transformation by facilitating immortalization. This function has been linked to the ability of c-Myc to induce the expression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), as ectopic expression of TERT immortalizes some primary human cell types. c-Myc up-regulates telomerase activity in primary mouse embryonic...
