Telomerase Is Controlled by Protein Kinase Cα in Human Breast Cancer Cells
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase, a specialized RNA-directed DNA polymerase that extends telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes, is repressed in human somatic tissues and becomes activated during tumor progression in most human cancers. To date, little is known about how telomerase is activated and controlled in cancer, although activation is thought to be involved in cancer cell immortalization. Here, we report that human...
