Application

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

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

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.

General description

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