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. BioVision's Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of human TERT in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of TERT captured from the samples.
