Adrenocortical dysplasia protein homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACD gene.[1][2][3]

Function

This gene encodes a protein that is involved in telomere function. This protein is one of six core proteins in the telosome/shelterin telomeric complex, which functions to maintain telomere length and to protect telomere ends. Through its interaction with other components, this protein plays a key role in the assembly and stabilization of this complex, and it mediates the access of telomerase to the telomere. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. This gene, which is also referred to as TPP1, is distinct from the unrelated TPP1 gene on chromosome 11, which encodes tripeptidyl-peptidase I.[3]

Interactions

ACD (gene) has been shown to interact with POT1[1][2][4] and TINF2.[1][2]
