Products Details
Product Description
– Biocytin is a conjugate of D-biotin and L-lysine, where the carboxylate of D-biotin is coupled with the ϵ-amine of L-lysine via a secondary amide bond. Biocytin is a classical neuroanatomical tracer commonly used to map brain connectivity. Biocytin is used as a versatile marker in anterograde, retrograde and intracellular neuroanatomical investigations and in biotinidase assays[1][2].
