Acd - ACD, shelterin complex subunit and telomerase recruitment factor

Predicted to enable DNA polymerase binding activity and telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of protein localization to telomere; regulation of DNA biosynthetic process; and telomere organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; skeletal system development; and telomere maintenance. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of shelterin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita 6. Orthologous to human ACD (ACD shelterin complex subunit and telomerase recruitment factor).
