Telomerase in Brain: The New Kid on the Block and Its Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases

29 Apr 2021

Abstract excerpt

Telomerase is an enzyme that in its canonical function extends and maintains telomeres, the ends of chromosomes. This reverse transcriptase function is mainly important for dividing cells that shorten their telomeres continuously. However, there are a number of telomere-independent functions known for the telomerase protein TERT (Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase). This includes the shuttling of the TERT protein...
