General description

Biotin hydrazide is a biotinylation reagent used to biotinylate glycoproteins with their sugar moieties. Biotin hydrazide can be used to prepare biotin-conjugated alginate. It can also be used for covalent attachment to PAAc via carbodi-imide cross linking.

Application

(+)-Biotin hydrazide has been used:

the modification of alginate
for the labelling of mitochondrial proteins from non-muscle tissues
as a component of glycoprotein staining solution
in periodic acid-biotin-hydrazide (PABH) assay for mucins
for labeling surface functional groups, biologically active molecules such as antibodies, lectins, sugars, nucleic acids or molecules with free carboxylic or keto groups.
for coupling to glycoproteins through the carbohydrate by hydrazone formation
