Biotin
Vitamin B7
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, functions as a coenzyme for five key carboxylases in human metabolism. It plays an essential role in fatty acid synthesis, as well as the metabolism of amino acids such as isoleucine and valine, and contributes to gluconeogenesis. Biotin is vital for cell growth and the production of fatty acids, making it important for various research applications in metabolic biology and biotechnology.
