What is telomerase?
2017/02/13
Telomerase is an enzyme which is able to elongate telomeres and repair short telomeres by re-elongating them. To this end, telomerase adds telomeric repeats to the chromosome ends. In non-pathological conditions telomerase is expressed in early stages of embryo development as well as in certain adult stem cell compartments.
