Description

Chlorocruorin is a unique respiratory pigment found in the blood of certain marine annelid worms, structurally related to hemoglobin and myoglobin. This compound, identified by CAS No. 24869-67-8, is of significant interest in biochemical research for studying oxygen transport mechanisms and evolutionary biology. It serves as a critical reagent for researchers and developers in the fields of comparative physiology, marine biology, and specialized diagnostic assay development.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a model protein for studying the structure, function, and evolution of oxygen-binding heme proteins.
• Comparative Physiology Studies: Essential for investigating alternative respiratory pigments and oxygen transport systems in invertebrates.
• Spectroscopic Reference Standard: Serves as a standard in UV-Vis and other spectroscopic analyses due to its distinct absorption properties.
• Educational & Diagnostic Kits: Incorporated into advanced educational kits and specialized diagnostic assays for protein analysis.
• Enzymology & Catalysis Research: Investigated for potential catalytic activities and interactions similar to peroxidases or other heme enzymes.
