Application

Biotin labeled bovine albumin has been used as a component in myosin V processivity experiments. It has also been used to provide biotin tags for neutravidin coating and also to suppress nonspecific cell adhesion during preparation of tension gauge tether (TGT) surface.
Biotin-conjugated bovine serum albumin binds selectively to different vascular subsets in lymphoid tissues, as demonstrated by both fluorescent and enzymohistochemical techniques, and thus offers a histochemical probe for identification of select microvascular endothelia in lymphoid tissues.
Biotin-conjugated bovine serum albumin binds selectively to different vascular subsets in lymphoid tissues, as demonstrated by both fluorescent and enzymohistochemical techniques, and thus offers a histochemical probe for identification of select microvascular endothelia in lymphoid tissues. In spleen, biotin-BSA binds to red pulp sinuses, but not white pulp vessels (including the central arteriole) nor the marginal sinus. In the thymus, prominent binding was restricted to the capillaries of the corticomedullary area.

  3. What is Product A8549, Albumin, biotin labeled bovine, soluble in?

    This product is soluble in water. This product contains sodium citrate buffer salts, so addition of a buffer is probably not necessary; just adding water is sufficient.

  4. What is the solution stability of Product A8549, Albumin, biotin labeled bovine?

    Sigma Aldrich has not tested the stability of this product in solution.  It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions.

  5. What is the linker between the BSA and the biotin for Product A8549, Albumin, biotin labeled bovine?

    There is no linker or "spacer". The link between the BSA and the biotin is an amide bond connecting an amino group on the BSA to the carboxy group on the biotin.

  6. What is the method of preparation for Product A8549, Albumin, biotin labeled bovine?

    The method of preparation of this product is considered proprietary by Sigma-Aldrich.

  7. How do I find price and availability?

  9. Do you have the amino acid sequence for bovine serum albumin?

    Bovine Serum Albumin is produced as a protein of 607 amino acids. The signal peptide (amino acids 1-18) and the propeptide (amino acids 19-22) are cleaved to make the mature form.  The mature form of BSA is 583 amino acids (amino acids 25-607, Uniprot P02769).  The sequence for the mature protein is below:DTHKSEIAHRFKDLGEEHFKGLVLIAFSQYLQQCPFDEHVKLVNELTEFAKTCVADESHAGCEKSLHTLFGDELCKVASLRETYGDMADCCEKQEPERNECFLSHKDDSPDLPKLKPDPNTLCDEFKADEKKFWGKYLYEIARRHPYFYAPELLYYANKYNGVFQECCQAEDKGACLLPKIETMREKVLTSSARQRLRCASIQKFGERALKAWSVARLSQKFPKAEFVEVTKLVTDLTKVHKECCHGDLLECADDRADLAKYICDNQDTISSKLKECCDKPLLEKSHCIAEVEKDAIPENLPPLTADFAEDKDVCKNYQEAKDAFLGSFLYEYSRRHPEYAVSVLLRLAKEYEATLEECCAKDDPHACYSTVFDKLKHLVDEPQNLIKQNCDQFEKLGEYGFQNALIVRYTRKVPQVSTPTLVEVSRSLGKVGTRCCTKPESERMPCTEDYLSLILNRLCVLHEKTPVSEKVTKCCTESLVNRRPCFSALTPDETYVPKAFDEKLFTFHADICTLPDTEKQIKKQTALVELLKHKPKATEEQLKTVMENFVAFVDKCCAADDKEACFAVEGPKLVVSTQTALA
