Name
telomere capping
Ontology

Synonyms
telomere end protection
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A process in which telomeres are protected from degradation and fusion, thereby ensuring chromosome stability by protecting the ends from both degradation and from being recognized as damaged DNA. May be mediated by specific single- or double-stranded telomeric DNA binding proteins. Source: GOC:rn, PMID:11352055, GOC:mah, PMID:11349150
