  1. Significance and sources of biotin Domina Petric, MD

  2. Significance • A key featureof biotin metabolism is that it is recycled by proteolytic cleavage from the four biotinyl carboxylases bythe enzyme biotinidase. • This recycling, and the prevalent hind gut microbial synthesis of the vitamin, allowquantitative dietary requirements for biotin to be relatively small.
