Product Overview

Description

Primary cells have a restricted capacity for cell divisions in culture. Immortalization of cells can be achieved by introducing the telomerase reverse transcriptase protein (TERT). Exogenous introduction of hTERT enables these cells to bypass replicative senescence by preserving telomere length. Nevertheless, in certain cell types, such as epithelial cells, the overexpression of hTERT does not lead to cell immortalization.
