Telomerase protein component 1 is a ncRNA binding protein that in humans is encoded by the TEP1 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

This gene product is a component of the ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for telomerase activity which catalyzes the addition of new telomeres on the chromosome ends. The telomerase-associated proteins are conserved from ciliates to humans. [6] It is also a minor vault protein.
