Generation and Characterization of Telomere Length Maintenance in Tankyrase 2-Deficient Mice
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Telomere length and function are crucial factors that determine the capacity for cell proliferation and survival, mediate cellular senescence, and play a role in malignant transformation in eukaryotic systems. The telomere length of a specific mammalian species is maintained within a given range by the action of telomerase and telomere-associated proteins. TRF1 is a telomere-associated protein that inhibits...
