Summary: Enables DNA helicase activity and DNA polymerase binding activity. Involved in DNA duplex unwinding; DNA metabolic process; and regulation of DNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within telomere maintenance. Located in chromosome, telomeric region and nucleus. Is expressed in crypt of lieberkuhn; germ cell of testis; seminiferous tubule; and trophectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 5; female breast cancer; gastric adenocarcinoma; high grade glioma (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in limb E14.5 (RPKM 9.4), CNS E14 (RPKM 9.2) and 28 other tissues See more

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.
