FCPF

Gene
FCPF
Protein
Fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a-c binding protein F, chloroplastic
Organism
Macrocystis pyrifera
Length
211 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
22.27 kDa

Organism
Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Length
197 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. In chromophytic algae, LHC is associated with photosystem II, energy being transferred from fucoxanthin and chlorophyll C 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.
