M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase

Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV ) reverse transcriptase enzyme is isolated from E. coli expressing a portion of the pol gene of M-MLV on a plasmid. MoMLV RT is made up of 671 amino acid residues. It is a DNA polymerase that uses single-stranded RNA, DNA, or an RNA-DNA hybrid (using a primer) to synthesize a complementary DNA strand.

M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase has been used:

• for the preparation of cDNA libraries or for first strand cDNA synthesis
• for use in a 2-step RT-PCR assay
• in quantitative realtime-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)
• in reverse transcription

Supplied with 10× M-MLV reverse transcriptase buffer containing DTT.

The enzyme is purified from Escherichia coli expressing the pol gene of M-MLV on a plasmid.

One unit incorporates 1 nmol of TTP into acid precipitable material in 10 min. at 37 °C using poly(A):oligo dT as a template:primer.
