Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7012
Gene name Telomerase RNA component
Gene symbol TERC
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DKCA1PFBMFT2SCARNA19TERTRTRC3hTR
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q26.2
Summary Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, and an RNA component, encoded by this gene, that serves as
Gene ontology (GO) Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
