Summary: Enables telomerase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of transdifferentiation; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell migration. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study chronic kidney disease and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma; pulmonary hypertension; and silicosis. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

TERT was expressed in the basilar membranes during the first postnatal week. In vitro, TERT expression in progenitor cells reached a maximum at day 4 after culture and decreased as the culture time prolonged or the cell passage number increased. These results led us to hypothesize that TERT may be involved in the development of the cochlea and in maintaining the proliferation ability of progenitor cells.
Title: Decreased expression of TERT correlated with postnatal cochlear development and proliferation reduction of cochlear progenitor cells.
Proliferation rate, telomerase activity, telomere length, and differentiation to cholinergic neuron-like cells (CNLCs) were observed to increase. Though, the expression level of telomerase reverse transcriptase gene increased, but CTC1 and TEN1 genes from Ctc1-Stn1-Ten1 complex encoding proteins with regulatory function significantly decreased
Title: Stimulation of cell proliferation by glutathione monoethyl ester in aged bone marrow stromal cells is associated with the assistance of TERT gene expression and telomerase activity.
Histone deacetylase inhibition induces TERT transcription and promoter activation. At the protein level in contrast, HDAC inhibition decreases TERT protein abundance through enhanced degradation, which decreases telomerase activity and induces senescence.

These findings suggest that cardiac telomerase activity may play an important role in the maintenance of normal cardiac function.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
