What is Avi-Tag
The advantage of this tag is that it offers site-specific biotinylation on the target protein on a 15 amino acid long peptide tag, which leaves the majority of the protein unchanged.
Avi-Tag structure
Until the discovery of small tags, a protein needed to be fused to the entire BCCP to be targeted.
This protein fused by BCCP can be recognized by biotin molecules in vivo and attach to it. Several other small tags have been used before Avi-Tag, but Avi-Tag is the most efficient so far.
Avi-Tag Monoclonal antibodies
Mouse monoclonal antibody anti-Avi-Tag is suitable for use in Western Blot research applications.
