Application

C-Phycocyanin from Spirulina sp. has been used:as a standard to characterize the fluorescence interactions and oxidation behaviors for model compoundsas a standard to confirm the antibacterial activityto characterize the recombinantly expressed α-subunit of C-phycocyanin fromSynechocystissp.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C-phycocyanin, a biliprotein with antioxidant properties, was shown to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells by stimulating expression of pro-apoptotic genes as well as by inducing increased release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria.

C-phycocyanincan act as an active inhibitor of A53Tα-synuclein. It possess anti-inflammatory properties.

General description

C-Phycocyanin is a protein pigment, that is soluble in water. It is an important constituent of Spirulina platensis.
