text Biotin (Btn) is an essential cofactor in a variety of carboxylation reactions (Zempleni et al. 2009). Humans cannot synthesize Btn but it is abundant in the human diet and can be taken up from the intestinal lumen by the SLC5A6 transporter. Its uptake, intracellular translocation, covalent conjugation to apoenzymes, and salvage are described here.
