Identification of <i>PITX1</i> as a <i>TERT</i> Suppressor Gene Located on Human Chromosome 5
8 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that maintains telomere length, is crucial for cellular immortalization and cancer progression. Telomerase activity is attributed primarily to the expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Using microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) into the mouse melanoma cell line B16F10, we previously found that human chromosome 5 carries a gene, or genes, that can...
