Protocol
Transportomics for the Characterization of Plant Apocarotenoid Transmembrane Transporters
Apocarotenoids are carotenoid derivatives produced by the nonenzymatic or enzymatic cleavage of carotenoids, followed by different enzymatic modifications. In plants, apocarotenoids play different roles, such ...
