Description
Heparin is functionalized with biotin. Purity: >95% lyophilized powder. Standard degree of substitution: 1 mol % substitution and at least one biotin molecule per heparin polymer. Higher biotin substitution such as 2% and 5% is available by custom synthesis service.
Properties
Heparin is a member of the glycosaminoglycan family of carbohydrates  (which includes the closely related molecule  heparan sulfate) and consists of a variably sulfated repeating  disaccharide unit. The most common disaccharide unit in heparin is composed of a 2-O-sulfated iduronic acid  and 6-O-sulfated, N-sulfated glucosamine, IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S).
Heparin CAS#: 9005-49-6
