POT1 Proteins and Enzymes

POT1 (protection of telomeres 1), a telomere regulator, is a single-stranded telomeric DNA-binding protein that controls telomerase-mediated telomere elongation. Telomere maintenance is required for protection against changes in telomere length, which has been implicated in ageing and certain cancers. Specifically, this protein functions as a membe...
