Biotin

Biotin is an essential coenzyme for certain carboxylases. It is used to modify histones and regulate gene transcription. Biotin-dependent carboxylases are involved in fatty acid and amino acid synthesis, and play a role in gluconeogenesis. In addition, biotin is used in biotechnological applications such as DNA-hybridization, flow cytometry, affinity purification, and identification of protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications.Formal Name: (3aS,4S,6aR)-hexahydro-2-oxo-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazole-4-pentanoic acid.
