Function

This gene product is a component of the ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for telomerase activity which catalyzes the addition of new telomeres on the chromosome ends. The telomerase-associated proteins are conserved from ciliates to humans.[6] It is also a minor vault protein.

gollark: Oh, and good news, your nonexistent APIONET node is exiled until it... nonexistently has TLS support.
gollark: Well, as they say.
gollark: It would be more efficient to directly burn the food or something.
gollark: Obviously the best way to produce power is to disassemble Mercury with von Neumann machines and turn it into vast arrays of solar powers and beamed power transmitters pointing at Earth.
gollark: They are, by nature, installed on random houses by people without years of training, and if you were to install them only on dedicated facilities with professional installers they would cost unreasonable amounts.
