Carrageenan (kappa-Carrageenan) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide extracted from edible red seaweed species. Carrageenan exhibits anticoagulant, antithrombotic, antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory activities. Carrageenan is extensively utilized in biomedical and immunological research involving inflammation, coagulation pathways, viral interaction mechanisms, and polysaccharide-based biomaterial development.
