Aviva Systems Biology's Acd antibody - C-terminal region (ARP36813_P050) is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot.
Description
Acd is a component of the shelterin complex (telosome) that is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection. Shelterin associates with arrays of double-stranded TTAGGG repeats added by telomerase and protects chromosome ends; without its protective activity, telomeres are no longer hidden from the DNA damage surveillance and chromosome ends are inappropriately processed by DNA repair pathways.Acd promotes binding of POT1 to single-stranded telomeric DNA.Acd modulates the inhibitory effects of POT1 on telomere elongation. The ACD-POT1 heterodimer enhances telomer elongation by increasing telomerase processivity.Acd plays a role in shelterin complex assembly. Acd may play an essential role in organogenesis of the developing embryo
