描述信息

alpha-Carotene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. alpha-Carotene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. alpha-Carotene is one of the primary isomers of carotene. Plasma levels of alpha-carotene are positively associated with the detection rate of AFB1-DNA adducts in a dose-dependent manner, whereas plasma lycopene level was inversely related to the presence of the adducts in urine (PMID: 9214602).
(6R)-beta,epsilon-carotene is an alpha-carotene. It is an enantiomer of a (6S)-beta,epsilon-carotene.
alpha-Carotene is a natural product found in Hibiscus syriacus, Scandix stellata, and other organisms with data available.
Widespread carotenoid, e.g. in carrots and palm oil. Has vitamin A activity but less than that of b-Carotene
A cyclic carotene with a beta- and an epsilon-ring at opposite ends respectively.
