Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of biotinidase in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: Biotinidase functions to recycle biotin in the body by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. Biotinidase has also been shown to have biotinyl-transferase activity. Defects in the biotinidase gene cause multiple carboxylase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
