An orange carotenoprotein (lambda max = 480 nm) containing astaxanthin as prosthetic group was extracted and purified from the carapace of the crab Macropipus puber. The extraction was made possible by means of Triton X-100, yielding an orange carotenoprotein, with a molecular weight of about 56,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated only a single polypeptide of 14,000 daltons, suggesting that the orange caroteno-protein was a tetrameric form.
从豆形拳蟹的头胸甲中提取并纯化出一种以虾青素作为辅基的橙色胡萝卜素蛋白（最大吸收波长 = 480 nm）。借助曲拉通X - 100实现了提取，得到一种橙色胡萝卜素蛋白，其分子量约为56,000。十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示只有一条14,000道尔顿的单一多肽，这表明橙色胡萝卜素蛋白是四聚体形式。
