Background
The gene encodes a protein that is part of a complex involved in telomere length regulation. Pseudogenes are present on chromosomes 5 and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010],
Function
function:May play a role in telomere length regulation. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) that is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection. Shelterin associates with arrays of double-stranded TTAGGG repeats added by telomerase and protects chromosome ends; without its protective activity, telomeres are no longer hidden from the DNA damage surveillance and chromosome ends are inappropriately processed by DNA repair pathways.,miscellaneous:Recruited to telomeres by TRF2; seemingly it does not directly bind to DNA itself.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,sequence caution:Translated as Glu.,similarity:Contains 1 BRCT domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Myb-like domain.,subcellular location:Colocalizes with telomeric DNA in interphase and metaphase cells.,subunit:Homodimer. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) composed of TERF1, TE
