BIOTIN POWDER BIOREAGENT SUITABLE FOR CELL CULTURE SUITABLE FOR INSECT CELL CULTURE SUITABLE FOR PLANT CELL CULTURE >=99% (C005B-050465)

General description

Biotin is also called as B complex vitamin. It is a bicyclic compound, which has a molecular weight of 244.31 Da. Biotin serves as an important cofactor for mammalian carboxylases. It is found within the cells in free and bound pools.

Application

Biotin has been used:

• as a M199 media supplement in in vitro culture system
• as a component of SATO serum free medium for the isolation of cortical oligodendrocyte precursors (OPCs)
• in biochemical precursors culture for de novo fatty acid synthesis
• as a component in aggregate culture media

Biochem/physiol Actions

Essential vitamin that is important for amino acid and energy metabolism, and fatty acid synthesis. It is a prosthetic group in four mammalian carboxylase families and facilitates the binding and transfer of carbon dioxide.
