Avidin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated

Description

Background

Avidin is a biotin-binding protein found in the oviducts of egg-laying animals (birds, reptiles, and frogs) that gets deposited into the whites of their eggs. Avidin is a tetramer and can bind up to four biotin molecules (Vitamin B7) with one of the greatest known non-covalent interactions. Avidity for biotin is destroyed with heat. Glucose oxidase is an enzyme that drives the oxidation of glucose into hydrogen peroxide and D-glucono-δ-lactone. This activity is utilized in biotechnology through colormetric detection assays that are sensitive to the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced. Avidin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Cancer, Neuroscience, and Cell Biology.

Synonyms

AvD, Avidin Biotin Complex, GOD, GOx, Avidin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated

Application Note

Avidin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated is a useful detection reagent for primary antibodies conjugated to biotin. Avidin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated can be utilized in both Western Blotting and ELISA experiment formats in combination with the proper substrate (TMB-1000 or FEMTOMAX-110).

Purity/Specificity

Avidin Glucose Oxidase was prepared from chromatographically pure avidin isolated from egg white followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.  Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Avidin and anti-Glucose Oxidase.

Storage Condition

Store vial at 4° C prior to restoration.   For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below.  Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.  Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature.  This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid.  Dilute only prior to immediate use.
