Potential roles for estrogen regulation of telomerase activity in aging

Sharyn Bayne et al. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Estrogen regulates tissue development, function, and aging by regulating expression of critical genes. Recent studies suggest that estrogen promotes cell proliferation by stimulating telomerase activity, an enzyme that plays a key role in extending cell life span. In some estrogen-responsive tissues, estrogen appears important in regulating telomerase activity in vivo. Further characterization will provide a greater understanding of the link between estrogen, telomerase, and aging.
