Description

The recombinant human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is generated by expressing the gene fragment corresponding to amino acids 281-436 of the human TERT in E.coli. This recombinant TERT protein is fused with a 6xHis-tag at the N-terminus. The 6xHis-tag allows for metal affinity chromatography-mediated purification of the fusion protein. The purity of this protein reaches up to 85% measured by SDS-PAGE. It migrated to the molecular weight band of 20-23 kDa. This protein is in stock now. The target protein TERT is a catalytic subunit of the enzyme telomerase, which together with the TERC comprises the most important unit of the telomerase complex. Telomerase is the enzyme required for the addition of telomeric repeats to the ends of linear chromosomes.

Target Background

Function

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. Active in progenitor and cancer cells. Inactive, or very low activity, in normal somatic cells. Catalytic component of the teleromerase holoenzyme complex whose main activity is the elongation of telomeres by acting as a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme. Catalyzes the RNA-dependent extension of 3'-chromosomal termini with the 6-nucleotide telomeric repeat unit, 5'-TTAGGG-3'. The catalytic cycle involves primer binding, primer extension and release of product once the template boundary has been reached or nascent product translocation followed by further extension. More active on substrates containing 2 or 3 telomeric repeats. Telomerase activity is regulated by a number of factors including telomerase complex-associated proteins, chaperones and polypeptide modifiers. Modulates Wnt signaling. Plays important roles in aging and antiapoptosis.
