Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000070366:
This gene encodes a protein which is part of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex and binds single-stranded DNA found at the telomeres, but the product of this gene also participates in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. The encoded protein contains two binding sites for components of the exon junction complex (EJC); interaction between the encoded protein and the EJC is necessary for NMD activity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
This gene encodes a component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the replication and maintenance of chromosome ends. The encoded protein also plays a role in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway, providing the endonuclease activity near the premature translation termination codon that is needed to initiate NMD. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
