Description

Application

• Biotinylated dextran amine and biocytin hydrochloride are useful tracers for the study of retinal projections in the frog.: This paper highlights the application of biocytin hydrochloride in tracing retinal projections in amphibians. The study demonstrates the efficacy of biocytin hydrochloride in neuroanatomical mapping, facilitating research in visual system development and function (Scalia et al., 1997).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Biocytin is used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of biotinidase(s), to measure biotinidase deficiency and as a model compound to study various uptake mechanisms of cells and tissues.
