Biochemistry (now historical) any of various green pigments found in invertebrate animals.Such pigments were probably mainly phaeophorbides derived from ingested chlorophyll./ˌɛn(t)əroʊˈklɔrəˌfɪl/ΚΠ
1883 C. A. MacMunn in Proc. Royal Soc. 35 133 It..can be detected in the bile of specimens of Helix after a six months' fast; for this colouring-matter, since it is found in the appendages of the enteron, the name enterochlorophyll is proposed.
1972 J. Binyon Physiol. Echinoderms vii. 119 The absence of protoporphyrin and its precursors from the prey of starfish indicates that its presence is the result of some metabolic process and its formation from the ‘enterochlorophylls’ or phaeophorbides, which are plentiful in the gut caeca, seems a likely one.
2011 P. Nicholls in G. A. Peschek et al. Bioenergetic Processes Cyanobacteria viii. 191 MacMunn's major ‘green’ focus was upon chlorophylls in animal material..the so-called ‘enterochlorophylls’.
