Anti-Biotin [33] Antibody

This mouse monoclonal antibody was generated against a biotin-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate and recognizes free and haptenic biotin and biocytin.

Highlights:

  • Binds both free and haptenic biotin and biocytin
  • Inhibits biotin-dependent enzymes including Acetly-CoA carboxylase - Useful for assessing the role of biotin in metabolism
  • Useful for biotin-complex labeling techniques where avidin cannot be used

Biotin is composed of a ureido (tetrahydroimidizalone) ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring. A valeric acid substituent is attached to one of the carbon atoms of the tetrahydrothiophene ring. Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis.
