AMV Reverse Transcriptase

From Avian Myeloblastosis Virus
  • Highly active dimer
  • Amplification of RNA
  • No 5' to 3' exonuclease activity
  • RNA-directed DNA polymerase
  • DNA-dependent DNA polymerase
  • RNase H and unwinding activity

AMV Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA dependent DNA polymerase that catalyses the polymerisation of nucleotides using template DNA, RNA or RNA: DNA hybrids.

AMV Reverse Transcriptase is used chiefly to transcribe mRNA into cDNA which can then be cloned into vectors or amplified by PCR. It may also be used for filling in and labeling the 3'-termini of DNA with 5'-protruding ends. AMV Reverse Transcriptase can also be used for dideoxy DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing.
