It is not an anticoagulant, quite the opposite actually. The blood (limulus amoebocyte lysate) will coagulate at the slightest hint of gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins.

It’s most likely a defense mechanism against bacterial infections.

It’s widely used in medicine to check for bacterial contamination of injectable pharmaceuticals.
