Application
- Biotinylated dextran amine and biocytin hydrochloride are useful tracers for the study of retinal projections in the frog.: This paper highlights the application of biocytin hydrochloride in tracing retinal projections in amphibians. The study demonstrates the efficacy of biocytin hydrochloride in neuroanatomical mapping, facilitating research in visual system development and function (Scalia et al., 1997).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Biocytin is used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of biotinidase(s), to measure biotinidase deficiency and as a model compound to study various uptake mechanisms of cells and tissues.

Biotinidases from various species ranging from fungi and insects to human have specific amino acids, and regions that are evolutionarily conserved. These specific amino acids and regions are further supported by their homology to a variety of amidases and nitrilases

Anatomical similarity across the neocortex has led to the common assumption that the circuitry is modular and performs stereotyped computations. Layer 5 pyramidal neurons (L5PNs) in particular are thought to be central to cortical computation because of their extensive arborisation

Uptake of biocytin and biotin was investigated in cultured transformed variants of neuronal (NB2a neuroblastoma) and glial (C6 astrocytoma) CNS cells. NB2a cells took up both compounds but biocytin was transported more efficiently than biotin in the nanomolar concentration range.

Biotinidase is the enzyme responsible for liberating the vitamin biotin from biocytin and dietary protein-bound vitamin. Individuals lacking biotinidase activity become biotin deficient. Because the liver is the major source of plasma biotinidase, chronic liver diseases can lead to decreased

Descending auditory pathways can modify afferent auditory input en route to cortex. One component of these pathways is the olivocochlear system which originates in brainstem and terminates in cochlea. Medial olivocochlear (MOC) neurons also project collaterals to cochlear nucleus and
