DNA polymerase gamma is the main replicative DNA polymerase in human mitochondria. It handles replication, recombination and repair of mitochondrial DNA and has key roles in aging and mitochondrial disease.
Certain antiviral nucleoside analogs are reported to block this enzyme after they are phosphorylated inside cells, which can lead to severe chronic toxicity.
Kit vs Kit Plus
The only difference is the enzyme: DPG100KE includes 33 µl of 100 x human DNA polymerase gamma, while DPG100K has the same reagents without the enzyme. Both are for 100 assays in 384-well format.

Assay Principle
The assay measures the DNA synthesized by DNA polymerase gamma from a DNA template and dNTPs. A fluorescence dye in EDTA is added after the reaction and the signal is read at 535 nm with excitation at 485 nm.
