CC   -!- FUNCTION: Light-harvesting photosynthetic bile pigment-protein from the
CC       phycobiliprotein complex (phycobilisome, PBS). Phycocyanin is the major
CC       phycobiliprotein in the PBS rod.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit, which further
CC       assembles into trimers and the trimers into hexamers. The basic
CC       functional unit of phycobiliproteins is a ring-shaped hexamer formed
CC       from two back-to-back trimers contacting via the alpha chain subunits.
CC       The trimers are composed of alpha/beta subunit heterodimers arranged
CC       around a three-fold axis of symmetry. The phycoerythrins also contain a
CC       gamma subunit which is located in the center of the hexamer.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00306}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, cyanelle thylakoid membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Stromal side
CC       {ECO:0000250}. Note=Part of the phycobilisome rod. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- PTM: Contains one covalently linked phycocyanobilin chromophore.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00306}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the phycobiliprotein family. {ECO:0000305}.
