Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Human DNA-directed RNA polymerase, mitochondrial (POLRMT) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Mitochondria of all organisms contain a genome that is distinct from that of the nucleus. The circular mitochondrial chromosome contains 37 genes that encode the RNA components of the mitochondrial translational apparatus, i.e., 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, as well as 13 polypeptide-encoding genes. POLRMT encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase. The gene product is responsible for mitochondrial gene expression as well as for providing RNA primers for initiation of replication of the mitochondrial genome. Although this polypeptide has the same function as the three nuclear DNA-directed RNA polymerases, it is more closely related to RNA polymerases of phage and mitochondrial polymerases of lower eukaryotes.
• Storage and shipping:All of the components are shipped on ice packs/blue ice. Upon receiving the kit keep it at +4 degrees Celsius for up to 1 year (refer to the label on the box for the exact expiration date).
• Notes:This kit is intended for research use only. It should not be used for human or animal clinical diagnostics or treatment.
