Biotin is considered as an essential nutrient, though it is know to be secreted by some of the intestinal bacteria. It is found in liver and brain tissues in minute quantities.
Biotin:avidin second antibody signal systems involve the conjugation of biotin to a secondary antibody. Once the secondary antibody binds to a target primary antibody in an immunochemical assay, the signal is developed by allowing avidin which has been conjugated to an enzyme or signal molecule to bind to the antibody associated biotin molecule.
Specificity and reactivity are determined by Ouchterlony Double Diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis versus the biotin-carrier protein complex. No reactivity is observed versus the carrier protein.
Inmunógeno
Biotin-KLH conjugate
Aplicación
Anti-Biotin antibody produced in goat has been used in multi-well plate assay, to identify desthiobiotinylating (analog of biotin) proteins. It has also been used in Colourimetric enzyme immunoassay.
In some applications, localization of biotinylated probes with avidin produces high background levels. Anti-biotin reagents may be substituted for avidin to decrease non-specific binding.
May be substituted for avidin to decrease non-specific binding.
Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas
Biotin serves as a cofactor for carboxylases, necessary for oxidative metabolism. Biotin absorption in small intestine is reduced on consumption of avidin rich food such as egg white. Thus, greatly decreasing its bioavailability, leading to egg white injury. Reduced levels of biotin is normally observed during pregnancy. Biotin deficiency might be congenital, with defective proteins involved in biotin homeostasis.

Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein, which diffuses on microtubules1. In neurodegenerative diseases, collectively termed tauopathies, malfunction of tau and its detachment from axonal microtubules are correlated with axonal degeneration2. Tau can protect microtubules from microtubule-degrading enzymes such as katanin3.

Microtubule-crosslinking motor proteins, which slide antiparallel microtubules, are required for the remodeling of microtubule networks. Hitherto, all microtubule-crosslinking motors have been shown to slide microtubules at a constant velocity until no overlap remains between them, leading to the breakdown of

Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) after surgery may promote acute lung injury (ALI) by inducing an inflammatory response. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is still unclear. Studies have reported that inhibitor of κB kinase (IKK)ε primarily regulates inflammation and cell proliferation. The present study

This investigation was to elucidate the mechanism for microparticle (MP) formation triggered by exposures to high pressure inert gases. Human neutrophils generate MPs at a threshold of ∼186 kilopascals with exposures of 30 min or more. Murine cells are similar
Cytoskeletal remodeling is essential to eukaryotic cell division and morphogenesis. The mechanical forces driving the restructuring are attributed to the action of molecular motors and the dynamics of cytoskeletal filaments, which both consume chemical energy. By contrast, non-enzymatic filament crosslinkers
