Biological Activity

Description	Biotin(Vitamin B7) is a B-vitamin and acts as a necessary coenzyme for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. Biotin is covalently attached to distinct lysine residues in histones, affecting chromatin structure and mediating gene regulation.
In vitro	Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis. In addition, biotin is widely used throughout the biotechnology industry to conjugate proteins for biochemical assays.
