• Beschreibung: N-Biotinyl-L-cysteine is a biotinylated derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine. It is used in chemical ligation reactions to enhance the reactivity of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) enzyme, which is important for glycolysis. N-Biotinyl-L-cysteine is also used to target GAPDH to cardiac cells and other cells that express this enzyme. This targeting allows for selective delivery of drugs to cardiac cells and other heart tissues. N-Biotinyl-L-cysteine has been shown to be reactive with cellular components such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. This reactive nature can be beneficial in biomolecular studies such as those involving disulfide bonds.
