A molecular characterisation of the LHCII proteins can be found in Caffarri et al. (2004) A Look within LHCII: Differential Analysis of the Lhcb1−3 Complexes Building the Major Trimeric Antenna Complex of Higher-Plant Photosynthesis. Biochemistry 43 (29): 9467–9476,This Lhcb1 antibody is directed specifically against the Arabidopsis Lhcb1 gene products, for those that would prefer higher specific activity over broader specificity offered by Agrisera older Lhcb1 antibody, AS01 004Protein is processed into mature form (Jansson 1999).
The main light-collecting antenna complex II (LHCII) of photosynthetic eukaryotes is located on the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It is a heterotrimer complex composed of three different subtypes of chlorophyll a/b binding proteins Lhcb1, Lhcb2 and Lhcb3. Lhcb1 is the most abundant chlorophyll a/b binding protein in eukaryotic phototrophs and is usually encoded by multiple nuclear genes.
