Homobiotin, also known as D-biotinyl-L-homoserine lactone, is a chemical compound that serves as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of biotin, a water-soluble B-vitamin essential for various metabolic processes in living organisms. It plays a crucial role in the production of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose, and is involved in the regulation of gene expression. Homobiotin is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions, including the condensation of L-homoserine and D-biotin, and is further converted into biotin through the action of enzymes such as dethiobiotin synthetase. Homobiotin is important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, as well as supporting the immune system and energy production.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1784-22-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,7,8 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 2 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1784-22: (6*1)+(5*7)+(4*8)+(3*4)+(2*2)+(1*2)=91 91 % 10 = 1 So 1784-22-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
