Abstract excerpt
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of human telomerase, is responsible for the synthesis and maintenance of the telomeric repeats at the distal ends of human chromosomes. Telomerase expression is repressed in normal human cells and is activated in immortal cells and during tumorigenesis, but the mechanism by which telomerase expression is regulated is not fully understood....
