HIV Reverse Transcriptase

cat. no. E1373

Human Immunoeficiency Virus (HIV) Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA directed DNA polymerase which can synthesize a complementary DNA strand initiating from a primer using either RNA or single-stranded DNA as a template.

  • Provides an excellent target for evaluating antiviral agents or inhibitors.
  • Catalyzes error-prone synthesis on DNA and RNA templates – ideal for introducing random mutations.
