Pot1 - protection of telomeres 1 Gene

Predicted to enable DEAD/H-box RNA helicase binding activity; DNA binding activity; and Telomerase Inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of protein localization to telomere; regulation of DNA metabolic process; and telomere organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromosome organization. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of shelterin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial melanoma and high grade glioma. Orthologous to human POT1 (protection of telomeres 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
