Loss of Telomerase Activity During Male Germ Cell Differentiation
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Although the activity of telomerase, an enzyme which synthesizes telomeres de novo and stabilizes telomere length has been demonstrated in the testis, the precise expression of activity in different germ cell types is not known. We examined telomerase activity using a PCR-based telomeric repeat amplification protocol during development of the rat testis from birth to adulthood. Telomerase activity was relatively...
