Summary: Enables telomerase RNA binding activity; telomerase activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; positive regulation of hair cycle; and positive regulation of stem cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of D-glucose import. Located in mitochondrion and plasma membrane. Part of telomerase catalytic core complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study prostate cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita 2; carcinoma (multiple); gastrointestinal stromal tumor; leukemia (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
