Biocytin is a Chromogenic, fixable with aldehyde-based fixatives, transneuronal tracer Molecule which is covelantly biotinylated with amino acid (L-Lysine) and it can be introduced into cells by microinjection. The primary amine on the lysine can be coupled to aldehydes/ketones to form a Schiff base – which can be reduced with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) or sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBCNH3) to form a stable drivative. Carboxylic acids of proteins and other water-soluble molecules can be coupled to this molecule in aqueous solution using water-soluble carbodiimides such as EDAC
