Description

D-Biotin is a growth factor present in small amounts in every living cell. It is involved in naturally occurring carboxylation reactions.

D-biotin occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides. It is more abundant in the liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast and milk. Biotin levels are higher in cancerous tumors than in normal tissues. It is inactivated by binding to avidin.

  • Product is an 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.
