Function

PHOT2_ARATH Protein kinase that acts as a blue light photoreceptor in a signal-transduction pathway for photo-induced movements. Mediates calcium spiking of extra- and intracellular origins in response to blue light. Involved in hypocotyl phototropism. Contributes to the chloroplast accumulation in low blue light and mediates their translocation (avoidance response) at high fluence. Regulates stomata opening and photomorphogenesis response of leaf tissue. Not involved in hypocotyl elongation inhibition, anthocyanin accumulation or cotyledon opening.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
