POLY (A) (C15-1295-655)

General description

Poly(A) is used as a carrier for quantitative precipitation of DNA and RNA.

Application

Poly(A) has been used for droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay.

Polyadenylic acid (Poly(A)) to inhibit Exo1′s exonuclease activity. It has also been used as a carrier to resuspend lyophilized gBlocks.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Polyadenylic acid (Poly(A)) tails present at 3′ end are produced in the cell nucleus. It contains ~250 nucleotides in mammalian cells. Poly(A) regulates mRNA decay and the initiation of translation. Cytoplasmic poly(A) extension modulates translation.

Quality

Typical analysis:
2.3μmol/mg Poly(A) (from absorbance) in relation to one mononucleotide unit. Chromatographically homogeneous.
Absorbance determination A₂₅₀/A₂₆₀, A₂₈₀/A₂₆₀, A₂₉₀/A₂₆₀

Sequence

Chain Length 2.100 to 10.000 nucleotides

Unit Definition

1 A₂₆₀ unit corresponds to 40 μg ssRNA.
