AHP1852 recognises human Telomerase-associated protein tp-1 (TEP1), a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein.
TEP1 is a component of the ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for telomerase activity which catalyzes the addition of new telomeres on the chromosome ends.
Telomerase-associated proteins are highly conserved throughout evolution and are found in species ranging from ciliates to humans.
