Thermo Scientific Bacteriophage SP6 RNA polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase with strict specificity for its respective double-stranded promoters. It catalyzes the 5'→3' synthesis of RNA on either single-stranded DNA or double-stranded DNA downstream from its promoter and incorporates modified nucleotides.
• Synthesis of unlabeled and labeled RNA that can be used: • For hybridization, in vitro RNA translation • As aRNA, siRNA, substrate in RNase protection assays, template for genomic DNA sequencing • In studies of RNA secondary structure and RNA-protein interactions, RNA splicing
