Gene information for POT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25913
Official gene symbolPOT1
Full nameprotection of telomeres 1 homolog (S. pombe)
Aliases,DKFZp586D211,HPOT1,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the telombin family and encodes a nuclear protein involved in telomere maintenance. Specifically, this protein functions as a member of a multi-protein complex that binds to the TTAGGG repeats of telomeres, regulating telomere length and protecting chromosome ends from illegitimate recombination, catastrophic chromosome instability, and abnormal chromosome segregation. Increased transcriptional expression of this gene is associated with stomach carcinogenesis and its progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
