| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Avidin is a tetrameric or dimeric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles and amphibians and deposited in the whites of their eggs. It consists of four high affinity binding sites for biotin. ExtrAvidin® is prepared from egg white avidin. It is a modified form of affinity purified avidin and binds biotin with high specific activity of avidin with the low background staining of streptavidin, a biotin binding protein produced by the bacteria Streptomyces avidinii. ExtrAvidin® is covalently conjugated to Cy3 dye and is used for various techniques. |
