3-(N-Maleimidopropionyl)biocytin
Cysteine Labeling Agent
3-(N-Maleimidopropionyl)biocytin is a cysteine-specific labeling agent designed for covalent modification of exposed cysteine residues in proteins. This non-membrane-permeable probe attaches a biotin moiety to polypeptides, facilitating the identification and analysis of membrane protein topology. Applications include studying the localization and function of proteins in biochemical pathways, particularly for examining the outer side of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
