Rtel1 - regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; DNA helicase activity; and DNA polymerase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA duplex unwinding; DNA metabolic process; and regulation of DNA metabolic process. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 5. Orthologous to human RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1).
