Lambda-Carrageenan is a non-gelling sulfated galactan extracted from red seaweed (typically Gigartina stellata and Chondrus crispus). The structure of all carrageenans consists of a strictly alternating masked repeating unit of 1,3-linked alpha-D-galactose and 1,4-linked beta-D-galactose. lambda-Carrageenan has the alpha-linked unit 2-6-disulphated and the beta-linked unit is 2-sulfated. lambda-Carrageenan is a seaweed polysaccharide, it is a potent antitumor agent. lambda-Carrageenan has been generally used as proinflammatory agent in the basic research.
