Additional notes
ab63979 has been derived from infectious plasmid clone pNL4-3 and belongs to Group B of HIV-1.
Applications:
1) It is extremely effective for screening new specific inhibitors for HIV virus as a drug for treating AIDS.
2) Generally, Gag and Env proteins are employed as antigens for detecting anti-HIV-1 antibody. However, by using this enzyme in combination as an antigen, the detection will be more sensitive.
3) Reverse transcriptases are used in the first step of RT-PCR reaction for converting RNA to DNA. The HIV-1 reverse transcriptase can also be applied for RT-PCR method.

Relevance
HIV1 Reverse Transcriptase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of HIV1 (AIDS virus), subtype B origin. It is responsible for the production of a double stranded DNA copy of the single stranded RNA genome that is contained in the HIV1 virus particle and primed by the host cell lysine-tRNA which partly unfolds and anneals to the 5' end of the viral genomic RNA. This is extended by the polymerase function of RT to give a DNA-RNA hybrid. It also has RNaseH activity which degrades the RNA component of this hybrid once it has been copied.
