Proximity BiotinylationCell Surface LabelingBiotinylation Assay

We specialize in cell biotinylation services that enable researchers to precisely label, track, and analyze proteins on living cells. By combining optimized chemical and enzymatic labeling strategies with strict quality control, we ensure that cell-surface proteins or protein interaction networks are biotin-tagged with high specificity and minimal impact on cell viability. This powerful labeling approach is compatible with downstream workflows such as proteomics, antibody validation, receptor-ligand studies, and drug discovery, giving you accurate and reproducible data to accelerate your research and development.

What Problems Does Cell Biotinylation Solve?

Cell biotinylation is a powerful tool that addresses critical challenges in modern biology and drug development:

Difficult-to-detect membrane proteins: Enables selective labeling and enrichment of low-abundance surface proteins.

Protein-protein interaction mapping: Facilitates identification of interaction partners through proximity labeling methods (e.g., BioID, APEX).

Target validation in therapeutics: Supports antibody, receptor, and ligand studies by confirming cell-surface expression.

High sensitivity in proteomics workflows: Improves downstream mass spectrometry and affinity-based analyses.

Streamlined cell engineering: Allows precise modification of live cells for imaging, tracking, or therapeutic applications.

By overcoming these barriers, biotinylation helps researchers generate accurate, reproducible data and achieve deeper biological insights.
