NCBI Protein Information
photosystem II BY
NCBI Summary
PsbY precursor (psbY) mRNA. This single nuclear gene is imported into the chloroplasts where it is processed into two integral membrane proteins with identical topology (PsbY-1 and PsbY-2). The protein appears to bind manganese but its role is not well understood.
