  • is a mitochondria protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • associated with the cisplastin-induced apoptosis
  • may be inducing apoptosis of lung cells under genotoxic exposures such as tobacco carcinogen–related stress
  • act as an anti-apoptotic factor upon endoplasmic reticulum stress, to promote growth, and to confer resistance to chemotherapy
  • is a mitochondria protein and it may be associated with anti-apoptotic mechanism which affects drug-resistance in turn
  • CLPTM1L functions as a growth promoting gene in the pancreas and overexpression may lead to an abrogation of normal cytokinesis
  • is the major lipid scramblase involved in efficient glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis in the ER membrane
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    Susceptibility
  • to lung cancer
  • to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
  • to skin cancer
  • to uveal melanoma (UM)
  • to Telomere length (TL) shortening
  • to modified age of onset for basal cell carcinomas (BCC) in Gorlin syndrome
  • Variant & Polymorphism insertion/deletion
  • SNPs of TERT-rs2736098 (C > T) and CLPTM1L-rs401681(C > T), may be associated with a reduced risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, particularly for their combined effect
  • SNP (rs401681) in the TERT-CLPTM1L locus identified as a susceptibility locus to skin cancer
  • in UM rs452384 is a functional variant that mediates allele-specific binding of the NKX2.4 nuclear factor and the transcriptional activity of the region, including TERT and CLPTM1L
  • exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can accelerate the TL shortening and this effect can be modified by TERT-CLPTM1L variants
  • risk allele of the variant at the chromosome 5p15 locus encompassing TERT-CLPTM1L (rs401681) was also associated with an earlier median onset of BCC, 31 years
