General description
Biochem/physiol Actions
Biotin is a vital cofactor for carboxylase enzymes in several metabolic pathways. It also functions as a coenzyme in the metabolism of fatty acids, isoleucine and valine. Biotin assists the transfer of carbon dioxide and also sustains a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is implicated in gluconeogenesis and citric acid cycle.[1] It is involved in keratin synthesis and hence is used as a supplement for skin, hair and nail growth.[2] Biotin is required for cell growth, production of fatty acids and the metabolism of fats and amino acids.[1]
