ClpP6 (ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit 6, chloroplastic) component of the chloroplastic Clp protease core complex, cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Plays a mojor role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Expressed mostly in leavesa, detected in stems and to a lower extent in roots (at protein level). Alternative names: ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit 6, chloroplastic, endopeptidase ClpP6, nClpP6,nClp1
