Human TERT/TRT/TCS1/TP2/HEST2 Lentivirus, Full-length Gene in Lentivector, Pre-packaged Lentiviral Particles

Description

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. TERT (Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase) represents the catalytic component of Telomerase holoenzyme complex.  TERT acts as a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats “TTAGGG” to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the holoenzyme.  Telomerase activity is regulated by many factors including telomerase complex-associated proteins, chaperones and polypeptide modifiers. Telomerase expression plays an important role in cellular senescence, as it is repressed in postnatal somatic cells leading to progressive shortening of telomeres. Activation of telomerase has been implicated in cell immortalization and oncogenesis.  It also plays important roles in aging and antiapoptosis.  Genetic variations in the TERT gene are associated with a number of diseases including aplastic anemia, coronary artery disease, dyskeratosis congenita, pulmonary fibrosis, and melanoma.

 

Gene Symbol: TERT; TRT; TP2; EST2; TCS1; HTRT; HEST2; CMM9; DKCA2; DKCB4; PFBMFT1

 

NCBI Gene ID: 7015

 

Uniprot Entry: O14746

 

Construct Details: Full length human TERT gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)
