Summary

Name TINF2
Full Name TERF1-interacting nuclear factor 2
Synonyms TRF1-interacting nuclear protein 2 | TIN2
Primary ID Q9BSI4
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 4
Function 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. Plays a role in shelterin complex assembly. Isoform 1 may have additional role in tethering telomeres to the nuclear matrix.
