Extratelomeric Functions of Telomerase
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a catalytic subunit of telomerase, has been demonstrated to exert a reverse transcriptase function when combined with telomerase RNA component (TERC), the complex of which ensures the maintenance of telomere length in all eukaryotes. Telomerase also prevents cell death, and promotes survival in many types of cells, from various tissues or organs including neurons, muscle,...
