Abstract:In the present study, collagen was obtained from the tissues of invasive sea urchin (Diadema setosum) rapidly spreading in the Mediterranean. As a result, the yield of collagen isolated from sea urchin was determined to be 23.78±1.33% (dry weight). According to the SDS-Page (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) analysis, it contains (α1)2α2, (Molecular Weight (MW) 124, 114 kDa) resembling the calfskin collagen and ß chains (MW 245 kDa), similar to the of the sea urchin collagen. In the am… Show more
