Intermediate in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. | [Uses]
Trans-Phytoene is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. | [Definition]
ChEBI: The all-trans-isomer of phytoene. | [Biological Activity]
Phytoene acts as precursors for other carotenoids in nature. It can also serve as free radical quenchersDNA protectors and anti-inflammatory agents. | [Purification Methods]
Purify phytoene by chromatography on columns of magnesium oxide-Supercel (a diatomaceous filter aid) or alumina [Rabourn et al. Arch Biochem Biophys 48 267 1954]. Store it as a solution in pet ether under nitrogen at -20o. [Beilstein 1 IV 1155.] |
