The human telomerase RNA gene (hTERC) is regulated during carcinogenesis but is not dependent on DNA methylation
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase, the ribonucleoprotein complex involved in telomere maintenance, is composed of two main components: hTERT and hTERC. hTERT seems to be the rate-limiting factor for telomerase activity, although hTERC expression was also shown to correlate to a certain extent with telomerase reactivation. To determine whether the absence of hTERC expression could be the consequence of DNA methylation, we quantified...
