TAIR Computational Description | phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, chloroplast / phytochromobilin synthase (HY2);(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Required for biosynthesis of the tetrapyrrole phytochrome chromophore phytochromobilin. Encodes phytochromobilin synthase, a ferredoxin-dependent biliverdin reductase. It is necessary for coupling the expression of some nuclear genes to the functional state of the chloroplast. |
