13(S)-HODE-biotin

13(S)-HODE-biotin is a biotinylated derivative of 13(S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13(S)-HODE), a primary oxidation product of linoleic acid and a notable compound in the study of lipid peroxidation processes. This modified molecule incorporates biotin, enabling it to be used effectively in research methodologies that require specific and sensitive detection, such as affinity-based assays. The biotin tag allows 13(S)-HODE-biotin to be easily detected and quantified through avidin or streptavidin systems, which are commonly used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and other biotin-streptavidin capture mechanisms. The parent compound, 13(S)-HODE, is involved in modulating various signaling pathways and is often studied in the context of its role in cellular oxidative mechanisms and as a biomarker for oxidative stress. By using 13(S)-HODE-biotin in research settings, scientists are able to explore its interaction with specific proteins, including receptors and enzymes, providing insights into its function and mechanism within biological systems. This compound′s utility has been particularly valuable in studies focusing on its binding interactions and influence on cellular processes, thereby enhancing the understanding of the molecular pathways influenced by lipid oxidation products in varied biological contexts.
