laminarin

laminarin
An algal polysaccharide, made up chiefly of β-d-glucose residues, obtained from Laminaria species (family Laminariaceae); variable proportions of the glucose chains contain at the potential reducing end a molecule of mannitol that can be sulfated.
- l. sulfate l. sulfated to varying degrees; two sulfate groups per glucose unit result in maximum stability and anticoagulant activity similar to that of heparin; l. with fewer sulfate groups has only antilipemic activity.
