Description
Exhibits telomerase activity. Involved in several processes, including erythrocyte maturation; intestinal epithelial structure maintenance; and telomere maintenance via telomerase. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; heart; integument; liver; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita 2; familial melanoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and leukemia (multiple). Orthologous to human TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase).
