Echinenone

Chemical compound

Echinenone is a xanthophyll, with formula C40H54O. It is found in some cyanobacteria. It is synthesized from β-carotene by the enzyme beta-carotene ketolase

Biological pigment

Substances produced by living organisms

carotenoids exist such as canthaxanthin, myxoxanthophyll, synechoxanthin, and echinenone. Pigmentation is used by many animals for protection, by means of camouflage
