Protein Encoded in Telomere Genes
May 16, 2023 | Terry Sharrer
“The repetitive sequences that compose telomeres were not thought to code for any proteins, but new research has found otherwise. In new work reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), scientists have shown that there are sequences for two small proteins within telomeres. The levels of one of those proteins was also found to be increased in some types of human cancer cells and in individuals with telomere disorders.” MORE
