Gene Information

human ... POLRMT(5442)

General description

POLRMT (polymerase (RNA) mitochondrial) gene is located on human chromosome 19p13.3, which codes for a protein of 1230 amino acids. This protein is composed of a unique pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) domain, a catalytic domain at its C-terminal, and a N-terminal that is similar to the promoter-binding domain of T7 POLRMT.

Immunogen

DNA-directed RNA polymerase, mitochondrial precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-POLRMT antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

POLRMT (polymerase (RNA) mitochondrial) is involved in the replication of mitochondrial DNA where it acts as an RNA primase. It is also involved in the transcription of 13 subunits of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes. It is a part of RNA transcription where it needs the aid of B2M (β-2-microglobulin) and transcription factor AM (active motif).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
