Catalog No. 6100-50: RnaUs MMLV Reverse Transcriptase, Size: 20,000 U

Description

RnaUs MMLV Reverse Transcriptase encoded by Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (MMLV RT), a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of approximately 78 kDa, is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that synthesizes the complementary cDNA strand from a single-stranded RNA template to which a primer has been annealed (1,2). MMLV RT also efficiently extend primers hybridized to single-stranded DNA. This enzyme is expressed in E. coli (2) and purified to free of exogenous RNase activity, a common contaminant in commercial preparations of reverse transcriptase.The enzyme is used to synthesize first-strand cDNA up to 10 kb and 5X cDNA Synthesis buffer is provided.
