Telomerase Activity in Female and Male Rat Germ Cells Undergoing Meiosis and in Early Embryos1
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesizes telomeric DNA at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. It has been hypothesized that telomerase activity is necessary for cellular immortalization and that telomerase activity is present in cells of germline origin. The objective of the present study was to determine the level of telomerase activity in the following rat cells: 1) oocytes from follicles at different...
