hTERT is a critical determinant of telomerase activity in renal-cell carcinoma
23 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme which stabilizes chromosomal structure, thereby inducing cellular immortality. Three major subunits composing telomerase complex have been cloned, designated hTR (human telomerase RNA), TPI (telomerase-associated protein I), and hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase). In the present study, a total of 36 renal-cell carcinomas (RCC) and adjacent normal tissues, as...
