A valeric acid substituent is attached to one of the carbon atoms of the tetrahydrothiophene ring.Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis.iotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids.
