Lhcb5 is one of the 3 minor, highly conserved chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins associated with Photosystem II in plants and algae. As a part of the inner light-harvesting antenna it has been sugested to regulate (together with Lhcb4 and Lhcb6) the energy flow from the outer LHCII antenna to the PSII reaction center.

For optimal detection, load/well should be from 5 to 10 µg of total protein. Higher protein load combined with weak blocking will contribute to detection of other bands.
