Product Name Biotin Labelling Kit for Avi-Tag Fusion Proteins (BirA)
Catalog No. REKI-0011
Description A biotin ligase (BirA) system that biotinylates Avi-tag fusion proteins quickly and efficiently, after which streptavidin or avidin reagents handle detection, capture and purification. The Avi tag is a short 15-amino-acid peptide, and BirA attaches biotin to a defined lysine of the tag in the presence of ATP and biotin. Because the tag is small and labelling is confined to a single residue, fusion proteins keep their activity; compared with random chemical biotinylation the enzymatic route reacts under milder conditions with higher specificity and reproducibility, and the labelled protein binds streptavidin with high affinity.
Intended Use Site-specific biotinylation of Avi-tagged proteins and peptides for ELISA, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, bio-layer interferometry, surface plasmon resonance and affinity purification.
Principle / Technology BirA biotin ligase transfers biotin to the Avi-tag lysine in an ATP-dependent reaction, giving single-site enzymatic labelling.
Detection Method Avi tag (15 amino acids), biotinylated at a defined lysine residue
Sample Type Avi-tagged recombinant proteins and peptides
Performance Range / Specifications High labelling efficiency with good reproducibility; mild reaction conditions that barely affect protein activity
Storage Conditions -25 to -15 °C
Shelf Life 1 year
Package Specifications 20 tests, 100 tests
Compatibility Streptavidin and avidin affinity media and detection reagents
Readouts / Downstream Assays Western blot, ELISA, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, bio-layer interferometry, surface plasmon resonance
