Biological Significance
Avidin is a tetrameric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles and amphibians deposited in the whites of their eggs. In chicken egg white, avidin makes up approximately 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1.8 mg per egg). The tetrameric protein contains four identical subunits (homotetramer), each of which can bind to biotin (Vitamin B7, vitamin H) with a high degree of affinity and specificity.
Biohazard Information
This product contains 0.05 % sodium azide as a preservative, appropriate care should be taken in handling.
Immunogen
Avidin antibody was raised in Goat using Avidin as the immunogen.
Preparation and Storage
Store at 2-8 degree C

UniProt Comments for AVD
The
biological function of avidin is not known. Forms a strong non-covalent specific complex with biotin (one molecule of biotin per subunit of avidin).
Research Articles on AVD
1. The effect of biotin supplementation on avidin-related protein-2 (AVR2) expression, and the relationship between biotin administration and oviductal expression of avidin and AVR2, was dependent on the hen's age, being higher in the young hens.
