Term Name: RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity
Synonyms: RdRP activity, RNA nucleotidyltransferase (RNA-directed) activity, RNA replicase activity, RNA synthetase activity, RNA-dependent RNA replicase activity, RNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity, RNA-directed RNA polymerase activity, transcriptase
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1); uses an RNA template, i.e. the catalysis of RNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time.
