Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables single-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation of DNA recombination at telomere; and protection from non-homologous end joining at telomere. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Part of nuclear telomere cap complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; musculature; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; familial melanoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human POT1 (protection of telomeres 1).
