Protein
Photosystem II 22 kDa protein, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Plays an important role in non-photochemical quenching, a process maintains the balance between dissipation and utilization of light energy to minimize generation of oxidizing molecules, thereby protecting the plant against photo-oxidative damage. Is not necessary for efficient light harvesting and photosynthesis.
Similarity
Belongs to the ELIP/psbS family.
