Differential Expression of Full-length Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase mRNA and Telomerase Activity between Normal and Malignant Renal Tissues
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Activation of telomerase, a key event during immortalization and malignant transformation, requires expression of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Consistently, lack of telomerase activity and hTERT expression occurs in most normal human somatic cells. However, it has been observed that both normal and cancerous renal tissues express hTERT whereas only the latter exhibits telomerase activity. The...
