Comments [?]

case <OG:Chloroplast>
Function May be involved in proton extrusion. Indirectly promotes efficient inorganic carbon uptake into chloroplasts.
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else case <OC:Cyanobacteriota>
Function Involved in light-induced Na(+)-dependent proton extrusion. Also seems to be involved in CO(2) transport.
Subcellular location Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the CemA family.
