PsbS / Anti-PsbS protein antibody

PsbS is a ubiquitous pigment-binding protein associated with photosystem II (PSII) of higher plants, which is involved in nonphotochemical quenching rather than in photosynthesis. Mutant has a normal violaxanthin cycle but has a limited capacity of quenching singlet excited chlorophylls and is tolerant to lipid peroxidation.

Phytoab has PHY0062A antibody for PsbS, the immunogen is KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide derived of PsbS from Arabidopsis thaliana AT1G44575. We also have PHY0345 for  PsbS.

Among 25 analyzed species, the sequence of the synthetic peptide used for immunization is 100% homologues with the sequence in Brassica napus, Brassica rapa, and 80-99% homologues with the sequence in Gossypium raimondii, Solanum lycopersicum, Physcomitrella patens, Vitis vinifera, Populus trichocarpa, Solanum tuberosum, Nicotiana tabacum, Cucumis sativus, Glycine max, Oryza sativa Japonica Group, Zea mays.
