Protein
Telomerase reverse transcriptase
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. It elongates telomeres. It is a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme.
Similarity
Belongs to the reverse transcriptase family. Telomerase subfamily.
