Telomere and telomerase

Jiping Li, Fen Xueping

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Telomere and telomerase is one of the updating issues highlighted in life science study. Telomere is the specific protein-DNA structure of chromosome end, which plays an important role in protecting the completion of chromosome and maintaining cellular reproducing ability.Telomerase,a kind of special reverse transcriptase,is compromise of RNA and protein subunit,which can extend telomere.The length of telomere and the change of telomerase activity is closely related to cellular aging and carcinogenesis.
