(Tıp) biotin
English - English
A sulfur-containing member of the vitamin B complex found in liver, egg yolk, milk and yeast, essential to the activity of multiple enzyme systems
A B vitamin necessary for absorption of the other B vitamins
A vitamin that helps with energy metabolism, fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis
Is a water-soluble B complex vitamin which acts as a coenzyme by assisting in making fatty acids and the oxidation of fatty acids and carbohydrates Biotin also aids in the utilization of protein, folic acid, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B12 Synthesis occurs in the microflora, thus, deficiencies are often a result of inadequate nutrition or caused by antibiotic therapy Indications of biotin deficiency are dermatitis (dry skin), sluggish appetite, or lack of energy
What it's good for: Metabolizes fats, proteins and carbohydrates, helps in the transfer of carbon dioxide and assists in various metabolic chemical conversions Where you get it: Cheese, beef liver, cauliflower, eggs, mushrooms, chicken breast, salmon and spinach Suggested Daily Value: 300 mcg for adults
A small molecule that binds with high affinity to avidin and streptavidin Biotin is used to label nucleic acids and proteins that may be subsequently detected by avidin or streptavidin linked to a fluorescent or enzymatic reporter molecule
Water soluble Essential for the metabolism of fats/proteins
a B vitamin
Involved in carbohydrate, protein, fat metabolism Essential for growth, maintenance of healthy nervous system, skin, hair and bone marrow
One of the water-soluble B vitamins It is useful in molecular biology as a chemical tag on nucleic acid probes or antibodies, because the biotin-scavenging proteins avidin and streptavidin bind biotin with high affinity These biotin-binding proteins can be coupled to fluorescent dyes, enzymes that can be detected using chromogenic reactions, or colloidal gold, allowing detection of biotin-labeled probes or antibodies on Southern blots, Northern blots, Western blots, or cytological preparations
One of the water soluble B-complex vitamins
a B vitamin that aids in body growth
- An essential nutrient that is part of the "B-complex" family of vitamins Biotin is necessary for healthy hair, skin and nails (these products often contain high amounts of biotin) Biotin is also essential for normal metabolism of fat and protein and aids in cell growth and fatty acid production Biotin also aids in the utilization of the other B-complex vitamins
Organic compound, part of the vitamin B complex, essential for growth and well-being in animals and some microorganisms. A carboxylic acid with two rings in its structure, it includes nitrogen and sulfur atoms as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It functions in the formation and metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It is widely distributed in nature and is especially abundant in egg yolk, beef liver, and yeast. A biotin deficiency can be induced by consuming large amounts of raw egg white, which contains a protein (avidin) that combines with biotin and makes it unavailable. Biotin is needed to synthesize fatty acids and convert amino acids to glucose in the body
{i} acid in the vitamin B family (formerly vitamin H)
vitamin H
