atpH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_038090 (symbol atpH) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) encodes the ATP synthase subunit C, a plastid-localized component of the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The product possesses proton transporter activity and proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, and is associated with ATP synthesis via the proton motive force. It is also annotated for lipid binding. The gene is associated with several metabolic processes, including phosphoglyceride, inositol phosphate, phosphate, and glutathione metabolism, as well as tRNA charging. Related genes in other species link the family to proton-transporting two-sector ATPase complex function. The gene is located on chromosome 142094.
