Thermostable dUTPase

Specification:500 U
Concentration:10,000 U/ml
Product description:Thermostable dUTPase hydrolyzes dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate. Thermostable dUTPase maximizes the efficiency of high-fidelity PCR abd removes contaminating dUTP present in PCR reactions and dNTP solutions. It can prevent dUTP misincorporation by maintaining dUTP levels below their inhibitory concentrations despite the constant generation of the molecule by the spontaneous deamination of dCTP. The incorporation of dUTP into PCR products causes mutations within the amplified product. The dUTPase increase in PCR product yield, length and fidelity enables further down-stream applications. These effects make dUTPase useful in PCR fidelity and yield-sensitive applications such as cloning and subsequent recombinant protein technology, and gene expression analysis (semi-quantitative RT-PCR techniques and real-time PCR analysis), where small differences in product accumulation can have a significant impact on gene expression analysis.
