Protein
Chlorophyll a-b binding protein 7, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
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 (Probable). Probably functions in non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) to dissipate energy under conditions where the absorbed light exceeds the electron transfer capacities of the thylakoid complexes contributing to primary photochemistry (PubMed:24119415).
Similarity
Belongs to the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (LHC) protein family.
