Background
This gene encodes a DNA-dependent adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-metabolizing enzyme that functions as a 5' to 3' DNA helicase. The encoded protein can resolve G-quadruplex structures and RNA-DNA hybrids at the ends of chromosomes. It also prevents telomere elongation by inhibiting the actions of telomerase. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative start codons results in multiple isoforms that are differentially localized to either the mitochondria or the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013],
Function
function:DNA-dependent ATPase and DNA helicase inhibiting telomerase activity by unwinding DNA/RNA duplex formed by telomerase RNA and telomeric DNA in a 5' to 3' polarity. Negatively regulates telomere length and such inhibition requires its ATPase activity. Tightly cell cycle regulated and expressed in late S/G2 phase.,similarity:Belongs to the helicase family.,subunit:Interacts with telomerase.,tissue specificity:Weak ubiquitous expression.,
