This product is expressed by E. coli, and the source of the expressed gene is T4 bacteriophage.
Since T4 DNA polymerase has both 5'→3' DNA polymerase activity and 3'→5' DNA exonuclease
activity, it can be used to blunt the 5' protruding ends or trim the 3' protruding ends, synthesize
labeled DNA probes by displacement reaction, analyze the initiation points of mRNA
transcription by primer extension method, synthesize of the second strand during site-directed
mutagenesis, clone ligation-independent PCR product, etc. The 3'→5' DNA exonuclease activity
of this T4 DNA polymerase is about 100-1,000 times higher than that of Klenow Fragment, and
it is more active for single-stranded DNA than double-stranded DNA. The enzyme does not
contain the exonuclease activity of 5'→3' DNA. It can be inactivated by heating at 70 ℃ for 10
minutes, and metal ion chelators can inhibit its activity.
