The telomerase inhibitor PinX1 is a major haploinsufficient tumor suppressor essential for chromosome stability in mice
23 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is activated in most human cancers and is critical for cancer cell growth. However, little is known about the significance of telomerase activation in chromosome instability and cancer initiation. The gene encoding the potent endogenous telomerase inhibitor PinX1 (PIN2/TRF1-interacting, telomerase inhibitor 1) is located at human chromosome 8p23, a region frequently exhibiting heterozygosity in many...
