About Tamavidin

Tamaviidin is a novel avidin-like biotin-binding protein from an edible mushroom.

Tamavidin can be produced by using Escherichia coli, and it has higher thermo stability than avidin and streptavidin, and shows less nonspecific binding than avidin.
Industrial application
For instance, Tamavidin can be used for protein purification and immobilization; moreover, Tamavidin has a potential for use in the effective concentration and sensitive detection of biogenic substance.
