General description
C-Phycocyanin is a protein pigment, that is soluble in water. It is an important constituent of Spirulina platensis.
Application
C-Phycocyanin from Spirulina sp. has been used:
- as a standard to characterize the fluorescence interactions and oxidation behaviors for model compounds
- as a standard to confirm the antibacterial activity
- to characterize the recombinantly expressed α-subunit of C-phycocyanin from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 (HisCPC)
- to identify the phycocyanin from water extracted Spirulina maxima sample
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-phycocyanin can act as an active inhibitor of A53Tα-synuclein. It possess anti-inflammatory properties.

The one-dimensional multicellular cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, exhibits a simple topology consisting of two types of cells under the nitrogen-depleted conditions. Although the differentiated (heterocyst) and undifferentiated cells (vegetative cells) were distinguished by their cellular shapes, we found that
