Experiment Method other
Up/Down Up
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description Null alleles of EST1 are not immediately inviable; instead, they have a senescence phenotype, due to the gradual loss of sequences essential for telomere function, leading to a progressive decrease in chromosomal stability and subsequent cell death.
Regulation Gene EST1

Pubmed ID 2655926
