Effect of biotin deficiency on embryonic development in the domestic fowl (1944) with reference and cited by articles
The approximate biotin requirements of breeding hens have been established and the embryos examined for gross pathological symptoms and the approximate age at death are recorded. Cravens, W.W., W., & Sebesta, M.A. (1944). Effect of biotin deficiency on embryonic development in the domestic fowl.
Biotin
BIOTIN Biotin is involved in a wide range of metabolic processes in humans and in other organisms, primarily related to the utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. The name biotin, borrowed from the German Biotin, derives from the Ancient Greek Ī²ĪÆĪæĻĪæĻ (bĆotos; ‘life’)
AvidinĀ is aĀ tetramericĀ biotin-bindingĀ proteinĀ produced in theĀ oviductsĀ ofĀ birds,Ā reptiles, amphibians
Dimeric members of the avidin family are also found in some bacteria. In chicken egg white, avidin makes up approximately 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1800 Ī¼g per egg). The tetrameric protein contains four identical subunits (homotetramer), each of which can bind to&nbs
