Details for plasma membrane-derived chromatophore
Gene ontology ID
GO:0042716
GO:0042716 is linked to 1 enzymes:
Definition
A pigment-bearing structure that is derived from the cytoplasmic membrane, sometimes consisting of simple invaginations and sometimes a complete vesicle. This component is found in certain photosynthetic bacteria and cyanobacteria
Comment
Note that this structure is distinct from the chromoplast of plants, which is also sometimes called a chromatophore; it also should not be confused with the specialized pigment-producing cells known as chromatophores, found in fish and amphibian skin.
Synonyms
1. chromatophore vesicle
