Gene:
telomeric repeat binding factor 1
Gene ID:
173457
Symbol:
Terf1
Species:
1182
Description:
Here we show that targeted deletion of exon 1 of the mouse gene encoding Trf1 causes early (day 5 to 6 postcoitus) embryonic lethality.These data suggest that murine Trf1 has an essential function that is independent of telomere length regulation
