Our knowledge of the role of proteins in cellular processes is continually evolving. Most proteins, including Streptavidin are typically involved in one or more signaling pathways or biological processes. Professionally manufactured recombinant proteins are increasingly becoming essential and commonplace tools for elucidating new knowledge about the role of proteins in both health and disease.
Protein Type: Binding Protein
Biological Significance: Streptavidin is a 52,800 dalton tetrameric protein purified from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. It has an extraordinarily high affinity for biotin (also known as vitamin B7); the dissociation constant (kDa) of the biotin-streptavidin complex is on the order of ˜10-14 mol/L, making it one of the strongest non-covalent interactions known in nature. It is used extensively in molecular biology and bionanotechnology as, in addition to the high affinity, biotin-binding is resistant to extremes of pH, temperature, organic solvents, denaturants, detergents and proteolytic enzymes. Biohazard Information: This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling this product.
