Drug Target Assay Kit

Human mitochondrial RNA polymerase (h-mtRNAP or POLRMT) acts as the transcriptase for gene expression and as the primase for replication of mitochondrial DNA. Its malfunction is linked to various diseases and to aging.

Some antiviral nucleoside analogs have been reported to cause chronic toxicity related to inhibition of mitochondrial RNA polymerase.

Kit vs Kit Plus

The only difference is the enzyme: MRPA100KE includes 33 µl of 100 x human mitochondrial RNA polymerase, while MRPA100K has the same buffer, DNA template, NTP mix and dye without it.

Kit Components

Component Kit (enzyme not included) (MRPA100K) Kit Plus (enzyme included) (MRPA100KE)
10 x Buffer 400 µl 400 µl
100 x DNA template 33 µl 33 µl
100 x NTP mix 33 µl 33 µl
10 x Fluorescence dye 330 µl 330 µl
100 x human mitochondrial RNA polymerase Not included 33 µl

Assay Principle

The assay measures the RNA made by the polymerase from a DNA template and NTPs. After the reaction a fluorescence dye is added and the signal is read at 535 nm with excitation at 485 nm.

Q.What does this kit measure?
A.It measures the activity of human mitochondrial RNA polymerase by quantifying the RNA it synthesizes from a DNA template and NTPs with a fluorescence dye. It can be optimized for IC50 measurement of inhibitors.
Q.What is the difference between the options?
A.The only difference is the enzyme: MRPA100KE includes 33 µl of 100 x human mitochondrial RNA polymerase, while MRPA100K has the same buffer, DNA template, NTP mix and dye without it.
Q.Is a protocol available?
A.Yes. The manufacturer's protocol (Human Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase Assay, linked under Documents) covers catalog # MRPA100K, MRPA100KE.
Q.How long does the assay take?
A.About 125 min (2 h reaction + 5 min detection). See the protocol for the exact steps.
Q.How should the kit be stored?
A.The Human Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase Assay Kit is shipped frozen. Please contact us for long-term storage conditions.
