Target description

Biotin, a bicyclic compound, is a water-soluble vitamin with a ureido (N-CO-N) and a tetrahydrothiophene ring. The ureido group is involved in its binding to avidin. The tetrahydrothiophene group is a valeric acid moiety. Although biotin molecule can exist in eight stereoisomers, the D-biotin isomer is the only one with biological activity. It plays important roles in a variety of critical metabolic reactions in the cell, and thus, is essential for normal human health, growth, and development. Its deficiency, particularly during pregnancy, leads to embryonic growth retardation, congenital malformation, and death. In mammals, biotin serves as a cofactor for four carboxylases that catalyze the transfer of a carboxyl group to targeted substrates. The four biotin-dependent carboxylases are: pyruvate carboxylase; propionly-CoA carboxylase; β-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase; and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. These carboxylases play a critical role in the intermediate metabolism of gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid catabolism. It is also reported to play a role in normal immune functions, including the production of antibodies, normal macrophage function, and the differentiation of T and B lymphocytes. This monoclonal antibody recognizes biotin conjugated to various proteins in ELISA and other immunochemical applications. (Ref.: Said, SM. (2012). Subcell. Biochem. 56; 1-19; Rabin, BS. (1983). J. Nutr. 113(11); 2316 2322).
