Synonyms : N2-[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy) carbonyl]-N6-[5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-hexahydro-2-oxo-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]-1-oxopentyl]-L-lysine; Nα-Boc-Nε-biotinyl-L-lysine

Applications : Biocytin is an excellent tracer, is extensively used in neuroanatomical research employing histochemical techniques, after either intra- or extracellular applications and due to its high affinity for avidin, biocytin can be visualized by using a host of avidin-conjugated markers at the light and electron microscopic level.
