FCPB

Gene
FCPB
Protein
Fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a-c binding protein B, chloroplastic
Organism
Macrocystis pyrifera
Length
217 amino acids
Function
The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated. Energy is transferred from the carotenoid and chlorophyll C (or B) to chlorophyll A and the photosynthetic reaction centers where it is used to synthesize ATP and reducing power.
Similarity
Belongs to the fucoxanthin chlorophyll protein family.
Mass
