- Description
- Enables telomerase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intestinal epithelial structure maintenance; negative regulation of cellular senescence; and telomere maintenance via telomerase. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; heart; liver; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita 2; carcinoma (multiple); gastrointestinal stromal tumor; leukemia (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase).
