Telomerase is an enzyme that plays a key role in the maintenance of telomeres, which are the protective caps at the end of chromosomes. Telomerase is essential for the replication of chromosomes and the prevention of cellular aging. It is found in most eukaryotic organisms, including humans, and is involved in the regulation of cell division and the repair of damaged DNA. Telomerase is a growing market, with a range of products and services available to researchers and clinicians. Companies offer a variety of telomerase-based assays, kits, and reagents, as well as services such as telomerase activity assays and telomere length measurements. Companies also offer telomerase inhibitors, which are used in cancer research and drug development. Some companies in the telomerase market include Merck, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Abcam, Bio-Rad, and Promega. Show Less Read more
