Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for POLRMT(NM_005035.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase. The gene product is responsible for mitochondrial gene expression as well as for providing RNA primers for initiation of replication of the mitochondrial genome. Although this polypeptide has the same function as the three nuclear DNA-directed RNA polymerases, it is more closely related to RNA polymerases of phage and mitochondrial polymerases of lower eukaryotes.

Gene References into function
- human mitochondrial DNA polymerase has a role in autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia
- POLRMT recognizes promoter elements in a sequence specific manner; TFAM induces a structural change of the promoter that is required for POLRMT-dependent promoter recognition
- transcription of some mRNAs in humans and rodents is mediated by a previously unknown single-polypeptide nuclear RNA polymerase (spRNAP-IV), expressed from an alternative transcript of the mitochondrial RNA polymerase gene POLRMT
- the MRPL12 interaction with POLRMT is likely part of a novel regulatory mechanism that coordinates mitochondrial transcription with translation
