General description

Streptavidin, a highly versatile protein, is naturally produced by Streptomyces avidinii. It exhibits a strong affinity for biotin, forming a non-covalent yet robust binding interaction. This unique property makes streptavidin an ideal choice for various biological detection systems, including western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and immunohistochemistry.

Application

Use Streptavidin, recombinant for coating of solid phases (e.g., microplates, beads etc.) as well with biotin-labeled haptens and antibodies in universal immunological detection systems (streptavidin/biotin system).

Sequence

Streptavidin is a tetramer with a molecular weight of approximately 53 kD consisting of four subunits of approximately 13 kD, each containing a single biotin-binding site.
Each subunit has six tyrosine residues.The protein is free of carbohydrate.

Unit Definition

One unit binds 1 μg D-biotin at pH 8.9.

Physical form

White lyophilizate; lyophilized in a 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.5 solution
Protein: 0.7 ± 0.1mg protein lyophilizate (A282 = 3.1)
KD: 10-15M
