MedKoo Cat#: 463377 | Name: Echinenone

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Echinenone (4-keto-β-carotene) is a carotenoid with a conjugated carbonyl group. Echinenone is a monoketo compound, is an intermediate between β-carotene and canthaxanthin in animals. It is one of the major carotenoids of Anabaena sp., and also present in Micrococcus roseus. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of Anabaena. The conversion of β-carotene to echinenone is catalysed by CrtO, a β-carotene ketolase.
