The gene product of an open reading frame of chloroplast genome, ORF 231 in pea, was immunochemically detected in chloroplast and etioplast envelopes. This is the first protein of a Chloroplast Envelope Membrane encoded by a chloroplast genome. It was named CEM A and the gene, cem A. CEM A is an acidic protein having an apparent molecular mass of 34 kDa on SDS‐PAGE, and a minor component detected in the fractionated inner envelope.
