From: Vivid biofluorescence discovered in the nocturnal Springhare (Pedetidae)
Identification of the porphyrins responsible for biofluorescence in Pedetidae. High performance liquid chromatograph of extracted pigment from captive Pedetes capensis fur. The response times in this sample were compared to that of a standard mixture of porphyrins (Supplementary Fig S1) which allowed for identification of uroporphyrin-I, uroporphyrin-III, heptacarboxylporphyrin, and coproporphyrin-I in the sample. The peak centered around two minutes has not been assigned and does not correspond to any of the porphyrins in the standard mix (uroporphyrin, heptacarboxylporphyrin, hexacarboxylporphyin, pentacarboxylporphyrin, coproporphyrin, and mesoporphyrin).
