TERRA functions with shelterin to inhibit telomere lengthening by enzyme telomerase. However, other studies have shown that under certain conditions TERRA can recruit telomerase to telomeres. TERRAs are essential for telomere length and maintenance. At least four factors contribute to telomere maintenan
