Gene: TEP1

Alternate names for this Gene: TLP1|TP1|TROVE1|VAULT2|p240

Gene Summary: 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q11.2

Description of this Gene: telomerase associated protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
