Cat. No.: HY-B0511 Purity: 99.62%
COA Handling Instructions

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a water-soluble B vitamin and serves as a coenzyme for five carboxylases in humans, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis. Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids.

In Vitro

Biotin exhibits higher affinity on breast cancer (T47D) cells over normal mammary epithelial (MCF-12A) cells, with Kms of 9.24 μM and 53.1 μM, respecetively[4].
Biotin (0.09-100 μM; 0-70 min) is dose-dependently uptake by T47D cells with Vmax of 27.34 pmol/mg protein/min[4].
Biotin (1-1000 nM; 24 h) exerts function in the recovery of 7β-OHC (50 µM)-induced cell death and reduces cell adhesion[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
