p. falciparum

pfHPRT Protein, P. falciparum, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 28.6 kDa and the accession number is Q76NM3.

Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH) is a key enzyme for energy generation of malarial parasites and is considered to be a potential antimalarial target. The ability of PfLDH- or PfIDEh-based immuno-PCR assays to detect <1 parasite microL suggests that improvements of bound antibody sensor technology may greatly increase the sensitivity of malaria rapid diagnostic tests. The PfLDH test could be used to detect failures and, therefore, to assess anti-malarial efficacy.
