      DescriptionAnti-TERT Antibody, clone TwMab-1
      Background InformationTelomerase reverse transcriptase (UniProt: O14746; also known as EC:2.7.7.49, HEST2, Telomerase catalytic subunit, Telomerase-associated protein 2, TP2) is encoded by the TERT (also known as EST2, TCS1, TRT) gene (Gene ID: 7015) in human. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the catalytic subunit of the telomerase responsible for adding TTAGGG repeats to the chromosome telomere ends. The catalytic cycle involves primer binding, primer extension and release of product once the template boundary has been reached or nascent product translocation followed by further extension. Cells with low or no telomerase expression lose telomere repeats during cell division, eventually resulting in cellular senescence. Most cancer cells, germ cells, and embryonic stem cells express high levels of telomerase, thus contributing to pluripotency and immortality. In addition to its telomere maintenance function, telomerase also has a pro-survival role in cellular resistance against DNA damage and ensuing apoptosis. Most cancer cells are highly proliferative and express high levels of nuclear telomerase activity. TERT is reported to shuttle between nuclear and cytoplasm and this shuttling is depended upon cell cycle, phosphorylation state, transformation, and DNA damage. TERT is also detected in the mitochondria where it helps prevent nuclear DNA damage by decreasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Following exposure to H2O2 or -irradiation, cancer cells capable of excluding TERT from the nucleus display little or no DNA damage, while TERT nuclear retainment results in high DNA damage. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 707 under oxidative stress leads to translocation of TERT to the cytoplasm and reduces its anti-apoptotic activity and its dephosphorylation by SHP2/PTPN11 leads to its nuclear retention. Phosphorylation at serine 227 by AKT is reported to promote nuclear location. Phosphorylation of TERT at threonine 249 is reported to be a novel tumor biomarker of aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. (Ref.: Masuda, Y., et al. (2022). J.
