Encodes a novel member of the Lhc family from Arabidopsis with one predicted transmembrane alpha-helix closely related to helix I of Lhc protein from PSI (Lhca4). Gene expression is triggered by light stress and both transcript and protein accumulate in a light intensity-dependent manner. Ohp2 is associated with PSI under low- or high-light conditions.
