RBCS-A

Gene
RBCS-A
Protein
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase small chain A, chloroplastic
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Length
175 amino acids
Function
RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the RuBisCO small chain family.
