General description
R-Phycoerythrin or R-PE is a fluorescent probe belonging to the group of phycobiliproteins obtained from macroalgae. R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) is a protein acting as a photosynthetic accessory pigment in red algae (Rhodophyta). It is an oligomeric protein of 240 kDa, with 6 α (about 20 kDa), 6 β (about 20 kDa), and 1 γ (about 30 kDa) subunits. Phycobiliproteins are water-soluble light-harvesting proteins with a high fluorescent property.
Application
R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) is useful in the laboratory as a fluorescence-based indicator for the presence of cyanobacteria and a variety of immunofluorescence applications. R-PE is a useful fluoroprobe in various electrophoretic procedures. R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) proteins detect mercury ions in soil and groundwater samples. Phycoerythrin has been widely used in food, cosmetics, immunodiagnostics, and analytical reagents.

Phycoerythrins have been widely used in food, cosmetics, immunodiagnostics and analytical reagents. An efficient one-step chromatography method for purification of R-phycoerythrins from Polysiphonia urceolata was described in this paper. Pure R-phycoerythrin was obtained with an absorbance ratio A(565)/A(280) of 5.6
