:Phycocyanobilin
Description:
Phycocyanobilin is a linear tetrapyrrole pigment primarily found in cyanobacteria and certain algae, playing a crucial role in photosynthesis. It is a chromophore associated with phycocyanin, a blue pigment that absorbs light in the orange-red region of the spectrum, thereby facilitating energy transfer during photosynthetic processes. Phycocyanobilin is characterized by its bright blue color, which is attributed to its unique conjugated double bond system. The substance is soluble in water and exhibits fluorescence, making it useful in various biotechnological applications, including as a natural dye and in fluorescence microscopy. Additionally, phycocyanobilin has been studied for its potential antioxidant properties and health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects. Its molecular structure includes a series of pyrrole rings, contributing to its stability and reactivity. Overall, phycocyanobilin is significant not only for its biological functions but also for its applications in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its natural origin and safety profile.

CAS:<p>Phycocyanobilin is a chromophore found in blue-green algae and cyanobacteria. It is a component of the holoprotein phycocyanin and aids in the harvesting of light energy. This biliverdin derivative is converted to phycocyanorubin by biliverdin reductase in mammalian cells. The addition of phycocyanobilin to human cells leads to potent inhibition of NADPH oxidase. It also binds to human serum albumin (HSA). Structurally, Phycocyanin shares many similarities to bilirubin and biliverdin.</p>Formula:C33H38N4O6Purity:Min. 95 Area-%Color and Shape:Blue PowderMolecular weight:586.68 g/mol
