Viral Reverse Transcriptase
Also known as: Reverse Transcriptase; Viral DNA Polymerase
Description
Viral Reverse Transcriptase is a form of DNA Polymerase that operates in Viruses (usually Retroviruses).
Toxic Effects of Viral Reverse Transcriptase
Immune System
Viruses (especially Retroviruses such as the HIV virus) utilize Viral Reverse Transcriptase to synthesize DNA from RNA - Viral Reverse Transcriptase permits Viral RNA to be integrated into host’s (human) DNA.
