Zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin is a lipid of Prenol Lipids (PR) class. Zeaxanthin is associated with abnormalities such as Disintegration (morphologic abnormality), Alkalemia, Age related macular degeneration, Visual impairment and Consumption-archaic term for TB. The involved functions are known as Signal, Regulation, Energy Transfer, Process and Pigment. Zeaxanthin often locates in Chloroplast thylakoids, reaction center, Tissue membrane, PSII associated light-harvesting complex II and Thylakoid Membrane. The associated genes with Zeaxanthin are PRB2 gene, Structural gene, Polypeptides, Genes, Bacterial and Genes, rRNA. The related lipids are Membrane Lipids, Micelles, Fatty Acids, Lipid Peroxides and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. The related experimental models are Knock-out.
