Reflectin is a protein found in certain marine organisms, particularly in cephalopods like squids and octopuses. It is involved in the ability of these animals to change color and camouflage themselves in their environments. Reflectin plays a crucial role in the structure and function of chromatophores (color-changing cells) and iridophores, which are specialized cells that reflect light and create iridescent colors.
