Biotin Antibody (BTN/8672R) [Alexa Fluor® 594] Summary

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Biotinylated sheep immunoglobulin
• Localization: Depends on the target
• Specificity: This monoclonal antibody is highly specific to biotin and shows no cross-reaction with other structurally related compounds It has a very high affinity for biotin and is excellent for use in various amplification techniques In some applications, localization of biotinylated probes with avidin produces unacceptably high background staining Anti-biotin antibody may be substituted to decrease this noise

Alternate Names for Biotin Antibody (BTN/8672R) [Alexa Fluor® 594]

• Biotin
• Vitamin B4

Background

Biotin is a water soluble vitamin, generally classified as a B complex vitamin, also called vitamin B4. After the initial discovery of biotin, nearly forty years of research were required to establish it as a vitamin. Biotin is required by all organisms but can only be synthesized by bacteria, yeasts, molds, algae, and some plant species. Biotin is required as prosthetic group of enzymes involved in incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Biotin has a MW of 244 Da.
