UniProt Comments
Component of the CST complex, a complex that binds to single-stranded DNA and is required to protect telomeres from DNA degradation. The CST complex binds single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner, while isolated subunits bind DNA with low affinity by themselves (PubMed:19854131). Associates with enzymatically active telomerase (PubMed:25329641).
