Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or H, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. It serves as an essential coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes involved in metabolic processes like gluconeogenesis and fatty acid synthesis. Produced industrially via microbial fermentation of glucose using engineered E. coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, its molecular formula is C10H16N2O3S with CAS No. 58-85-5.
High-dose supplementation may interfere with immunoassays, leading to false-positive or false-negative results. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C away from light to prevent degradation. Handle with standard industrial PPE to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
