Term Name: RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity
Synonyms: deoxynucleoside-triphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase (RNA-directed) activity, DNA nucleotidyltransferase (RNA-directed) activity, reverse transcriptase activity, revertase activity, RNA revertase activity, RNA-dependent deoxyribonucleate nucleotidyltransferase activity, RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, RNA-directed DNA polymerase, group II intron encoded, RNA-directed DNA polymerase, transposon encoded, RNA-instructed DNA polymerase activity, RT
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1); RNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of a DNA strand by one deoxynucleotide at a time.
