TERT encodes the telomerase responsible for maintenance of chromosome ends. TERT has been identified as a direct MITF target in melanoma cells by ChIP. Consistent with this, depletion of MITF causes a decrease in TERT mRNA by RNA seq and RT-qPCR (Strub et al, 2011). TERT is one of a number of potential MITF-dependent target genes involved in processes of DNA replication and damage repair (Strub et al, 2011; reviewed in Goding and Arnheiter, 2019)
