Western blot - Anti-Telomerase reverse transcriptase antibody [Y182] (Overexpressed)- BSA and Azide free (AB181830)

This data was developed using ab32020, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Blocking and diluting buffer and concentration : 5% Milk + PBST.

In Western blot, β-actin was used as loading control staining at 1/1000 dilution.

Approx. 75k cells of total protein were loaded to all wells.

This product is only suitable for use with overexpressed samples. Additional testing has now shown that in endogenous samples a non-specific band is observed at the same MW as hTERT (120 kDa). We do not know the identity of this band.

Non-Specific band observed is consistent with what has been described in the literature (PMID : 24990373).

To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3pc Milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBST) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBST, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.

Supplementary information

Telomerase reverse transcriptase also known as TERT is an enzyme with a molecular mass of about 127 kDa. It functions as a catalytic subunit of the telomerase complex which extends telomeres by adding the nucleotide sequence "TTAGGG" to the ends of chromosomes. TERT operates with a telomerase RNA component (TERC) to synthesize DNA using an RNA template a process called reverse transcription. TERT is expressed in embryonic tissues adult stem cells and cancer cells where rapid cell division occurs.
Biological function summary

TERT plays an important role in maintaining telomere length essential for protecting chromosome stability. The protein forms part of the telomerase holoenzyme complex working together with TERC to perform its function. Telomerase activity allows cells to bypass the Hayflick limit preventing senescence and enhancing replication potential. In addition to telomere maintenance TERT influences gene regulation and cellular proliferation.

Pathways

TERT holds significance in the telomere maintenance and signaling pathways. Telomere maintenance ensures genomic integrity and cellular longevity a process fundamental for tissue homeostasis and regeneration. TERT interacts with proteins such as dyskerin and TERC within these pathways. Its regulatory roles in these pathways also reveal interactions with other key proteins like hypothesized targets in the DNA damage response.

The upregulation of TERT is associated with cancer and degenerative diseases. Increased telomerase activity is a common feature in many cancers leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Additionally mutations in TERT and its associated components can contribute to disorders like dyskeratosis congenita a rare genetic condition resulting in bone marrow failure. In these conditions TERT interaction with proteins involved in chromosomal maintenance and repair becomes important for understanding disease mechanisms.

Target data

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. Active in progenitor and cancer cells. Inactive, or very low activity, in normal somatic cells. Catalytic component of the teleromerase holoenzyme complex whose main activity is the elongation of telomeres by acting as a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme. Catalyzes the RNA-dependent extension of 3'-chromosomal termini with the 6-nucleotide telomeric repeat unit, 5'-TTAGGG-3'. The catalytic cycle involves primer binding, primer extension and release of product once the template boundary has been reached or nascent product translocation followed by further extension. More active on substrates containing 2 or 3 telomeric repeats. Telomerase activity is regulated by a number of factors including telomerase complex-associated proteins, chaperones and polypeptide modifiers. Modulates Wnt signaling. Plays important roles in aging and antiapoptosis.
