GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 8738750
Species: Chinchilla lanigera
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Acd
Name: ACD shelterin complex subunit and telomerase recruitment factor
Acc ID: GO:0000781
Term: chromosome, telomeric region
Definition: The end of a linear chromosome, required for the integrity and maintenance of the end. A chromosome telomere usually includes a region of telomerase-encoded repeats the length of which rarely exceeds 20 bp each and that permits the formation of a telomeric loop (T-loop). The telomeric repeat region is usually preceded by a sub-telomeric region that is gene-poor but rich in repetitive elements. Some telomeres only consist of the latter part (for eg. D. melanogaster telomeres).
Definition Source(s): GOC:elh
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
