Gene information for TERF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7014
Official gene symbolTERF2
Full nametelomeric repeat binding factor 2
Aliases,TRBF2,TRF2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a telomere specific protein, TERF2, which is a component of the telomere nucleoprotein complex. This protein is present at telomeres in metaphase of the cell cycle, is a second negative regulator of telomere length and plays a key role in the protective activity of telomeres. While having similar telomere binding activity and domain organization, TERF2 differs from TERF1 in that its N terminus is basic rather than acidic. [provided by RefSeq]
