It has a molecular mass of approximately 143 kDa. RTEL1 expresses mainly in the nucleus with high expression in tissues like the testes liver and heart. Mechanistically RTEL1 functions by unwinding DNA during replication and repair processes. This activity helps maintain the integrity of telomeres and prevents telomere dysfunction.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis protein plays a role in maintaining genome stability and integrity. RTEL1 functions as part of the shelterin complex which protects telomeres from being recognized as DNA damage sites. It interacts with other proteins like TRF2 and POT1 to ensure proper telomere length regulation. By dismantling DNA secondary structures RTEL1 allows for efficient DNA replication and prevents replication stress.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nResearchers have linked RTEL1 to important pathways involving DNA repair and replication. RTEL1 participates in the homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining pathways which are critical for fixing DNA double-strand breaks. Within these pathways RTEL1 interacts with proteins such as BRCA1 and RAD51 aiding in the resolution of recombination intermediates and maintenance of chromosomal stability.\u003cbr\u003e\nRTEL1 mutations have associations with various forms of cancer and dyskeratosis congenita. In cancer RTEL1 dysfunction leads to genomic instability contributing to tumorigenesis. In dyskeratosis congenita telomere shortening due to RTEL1 defects results in premature aging and bone marrow failure. The protein associates with TERT in these conditions highlighting its role in telomere length regulation critical for cellular aging and proliferation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854364823721,"sku":"ab85557","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab85557","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
