Erythrin

/ˈɛrɪθrɪn/ noun

Definition

A red pigment or protein found in certain organisms, particularly in some fish and marine animals.

Etymology

From Greek 'erythros' meaning 'red' combined with the suffix '-in' used for chemical compounds and proteins. The term emerged in the 19th century as scientists began classifying biological pigments.

Kelly Says

Erythrin is one of nature's lesser-known color factories—while hemoglobin gets all the glory for making blood red, erythrin does similar work in completely different creatures, showing how evolution found the same solution multiple times.
