Lsi2 is a plasma-membrane protein primarily found in the roots of plants like rice. It works in tandem with to manage the movement of silicon from the soil into the plant's vascular system.

, meaning it uses a proton gradient to move silicon across membranes.
: Unlike Lsi1, which acts as an influx channel (letting silicon in), Lsi2 is an efflux transporter . It actively pumps silicon (in the form of silicic acid) out of the root cells and into the xylem, which then carries it to the rest of the plant. Mechanism : It is categorized as a putative
