    GlossaryTelomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT)

    enzyme that maintains telomere length, crucial for cell division

    Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) is an enzyme that helps maintain the length of telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. By adding repetitive nucleotide sequences to the telomeres, TERT plays a crucial role in cellular aging and replication. This enzyme is particularly active in stem cells, germ cells, and cancer cells, allowing them to divide indefinitely.
