Protein name Endogenous retrovirus group K member 18 Pol protein (HERV-K(C1a) Pol protein) (HERV-K110 Pol protein) (HERV-K18 Pol protein) (HERV-K_1q23.3 provirus ancestral Pol protein) [Includes: Reverse transcriptase (EC 2.7.7.49); Ribonuclease H (RNase H) (EC 3.1.26
Protein function Early post-infection, the reverse transcriptase converts the viral RNA genome into double-stranded viral DNA. The RNase H domain of the reverse transcriptase performs two functions. It degrades the RNA template and specifically removes the RNA p
