What's a GeneRIF?

In deriving canine induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC's), the reactivation of TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) in all four dog iPS cell lines supports epigenetic and nuclear reprogramming to pluripotency from adult canine fibroblasts.
Title: Growth requirements and chromosomal instability of induced pluripotent stem cells generated from adult canine fibroblasts.
This study evaluated the relationship between polymorphisms of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase and the longevity and cancer susceptibility of 4 dog breeds.
Title: Polymorphisms within the Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase gene (TERT) in four breeds of dogs selected for difference in lifespan and cancer susceptibility.
This study reports that the human telomerase promoter operates in canine cells, suggesting that human telomerase promoter-driven cancer therapy can be used to treat cancer in canines.
Title: The human and canine TERT promoters function equivalently in human and canine cells.
TERT interacted with ERalpha via the estrogen response element (ERE) in cataractous lens epithelial cells (LEC) but not in normal LEC.
Title: ERalpha increases expression and interacts with TERT in cataractous canine lens epithelial cells.
DNA sequencing revealed two insertions (175 and 28 bp long) and two deletions (17 and 32 bp long), which were encountered in different combinations and gave rise to five different transcripts.
Title: Canis familiaris telomerase reverse transcriptase undergoes alternative splicing.
These findings suggest that telomerase may be a valuable target for canine osteosarcoma (OSA) therapy, and that telomerase status does not appear to be a prognostic factor in canine OSA.
Title: Impact of telomerase status on canine osteosarcoma patients.
Localization of catalytic subunit of telomerase reverse transcriptase in normal lens epithelial cells(LEC)corresponded with LEC's regional functions. (Catalytic subunit of telomerase reverse transcriptase)
Title: Expression and characterization of the catalytic subunit of telomerase in normal and cataractous canine lens epithelial cells.
A higher expression of TERT was noted in canine and feline meningionas.
Title: Immunohistochemical expression of h-telomerase reverse transcriptase in canine and feline meningiomas.
Dog TERT shows the highest level of sequence similarity to the human TERT protein, supporting the dog as a model system for telomerase-based studies.
Title: Isolation and expression of the reverse transcriptase component of the Canis familiaris telomerase ribonucleoprotein (dogTERT).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
