Reverse Transcriptase AMV
Reverse Transcriptase, AMV is a gene product of the RNA genome of avian myeloblastosis virus. The enzymatically active forms of the purified enzyme are α,ββ and αβ. The molecular weight of the α-subunit is 68 kDa, that of the β-subunit 92 kDa. The mature
αβ form, the most active form of Reverse Transcriptase, AMV, includes a RNA-directed DNA polymerase, a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase, a RNase H, and an unwinding activity. Reverse Transcriptase, AMV is used for cDNA synthesis, for synthesis of first
strand cDNA for use in subsequent amplification reactions and dideoxy DNA sequencing.
The enzyme can also be used for RNA sequencing, 3′ end labeling of DNA fragments, and the generation of ss probes for genomic footprints.
Reverse Transcriptase
AMV requires a primer and Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity.
AMV (Avian Myeloblastosis Virus) Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA-directed DNA polymerase and a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The AMV reverse transcriptase requires a primer and Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity.
Heat inactivation: 5

Reverse Transcriptase AMV is suitable for:
• First- and second-strand cDNA synthesis and synthesis of first strand cDNA for use in subsequent amplification reactions (RT-PCR)[1][2][3]
• Dideoxy
DNA sequencing
• Primer extension[5]
• RNA sequencing
• 3′-end labeling of DNA fragments
• Generation of single-stranded probes for genomic footprint experiments
• Efficiently transcribes total RNA, mRNA, viral RNA and RNA rich in secondary structures
• Procure full length cDNA fragments up to 12 kb
• Higher thermostability (up to 60°C) and specificity than M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase
