Comments [?]

case <OG:Chloroplast>
FUNCTIONContributes to K(+)/H(+) antiport activity by supporting proton efflux to control proton extrusion and homeostasis in chloroplasts in a light-dependent manner to modulate photosynthesis. Prevents excessive induction of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) under continuous-light conditions. Indirectly promotes efficient inorganic carbon uptake into chloroplasts.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=H(+)(out) + K(+)(in) = H(+)(in) + K(+)(out); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:29467, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29103;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONPlastid, chloroplast inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else case <OC:Cyanobacteriota>
FUNCTIONRequired for H(+) efflux immediately after light irradiation to form a rapid H(+) concentration gradient across the thylakoid membranes. Together with PxcL, contributes to transient H(+) uptake following dark to light transition.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the CemA family.
