Applications Succinimidyl-6-(biotinamido) Hexanoate is a biotinylation reagent incorporating an aminocaproyl “spacer”. This can reduce the steric hindrance in binding avidin to some biotinylated compounds when used to biotinylate both the antibody and the carrier in the Protein Avidin-Biotin Capture System. This system avoids the direct interaction of a captured antibody with solid surfaces, such as plastics, which may reduce antigenicity. It has also been used to enhance the detection of DNA on nitrocellulose. Has also been used as a cell surface labelling reagent

Applications Labelled Pantothenic Acid. A member of the B complex vitamins; essential vitamin for the biosynthesis of coenzyme A in mammalian cells. Occurs ubiquitously in all animal and plant tissue. The richest common source is liver, but jelly of the queen bee contains 6 times as much as liver. Rice bran and molasses are other good sources.

Applications Labelled Pyridoxine. One of the vitamins of the B6 complex; present in many foodstuffs (yeast, liver and cereals). Pyridoxine has a role in transporting protein Bsu1, Pyridoxine contributes to thiamine uptake; characterization of thiamine (vitamin B1) transporter Thi9 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Stability Liight Sensitive, Temperature Sensitive
Applications Occurs preformed only in animals; metabolized from carotenoids, such β-carotene, in the intestinal mucosa. Dietary sources include liver, milk, butter, cheese, eggs and fish liver oils or as carotenois from fruits and vegetables. Stored primarily in the liver in esterified form; transported in the blood by retinol binding protein (RBP). Nutritional factor.
