ACKR1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 41.1 kDa and the accession number is Q16570.

PFD0110w Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant is expressed in E. coli expression system. The predicted molecular weight is 30.1 kDa and the accession number is P86148.

During the asexual blood stage, participates in initial cleavage of native host hemoglobin (Hb) resulting in Hb denaturation. May cleave preferentially denatured hemoglobin that has been cleaved by PMI. Digestion of host Hb is an essential step which provides the parasite with amino acids for protein synthesis, and regulates osmolarity (Probable). Plasmepsin-2 Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant (His & Myc) is expressed in Baculovirus insect cells with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 40.8 kDa and the accession number is P46925.

L-lactate dehydrogenase Protein, Plasmodium berghei, Recombinant (His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 39.4 kDa and the accession number is Q7SI97.

Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. May also function as a storage protein or ligandin for parasitotoxic ferriprotoporphyrin IX (hemin). GST Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-10xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 27.3 kDa and the accession number is Q8MU52.

Gametocyte surface protein required for male female gamete fusion. Also required for male gamete exflagellation and interaction with erythrocytes. PFS230 Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant is expressed in E. coli expression system. The predicted molecular weight is 15.9 kDa and the accession number is P68874.

Probable GTP-binding protein that may be involved in cell development. SEY1 Protein, Plasmodium knowlesi, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 103.5 kDa and the accession number is B3LAJ9.

Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells. MDR1 Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant (His & SUMO) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis-SUMO tag. The predicted molecular weight is 54.2 kDa and the accession number is P13568.

During the asexual blood stage, participates in initial cleavage of native host hemoglobin (Hb) resulting in Hb denaturation. May cleave preferentially denatured hemoglobin that has been cleaved by PMI. Digestion of host Hb is an essential step which provides the parasite with amino acids for protein synthesis, and regulates osmolarity (Probable). Plasmepsin-2 Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant (E. coli, His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 41.9 kDa and the accession number is P46925.

During the asexual blood stage, catalyzes the initial cleavage of native host hemoglobin (Hb) resulting in Hb denaturation; specifically cleaves between Phe-33 and Leu-34 of Hb alpha-chain. Digestion of host Hb is an essential step which provides the parasite with amino acids for protein synthesis, and regulates osmolarity (Probable). Plasmepsin-1 Protein, Plasmodium falciparum, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 41.0 kDa and the accession number is P39898.

Platelet Glycoprotein 4 (CD36) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that has multiple physiological functions. It is broadly expressed on a variety of cell types including microvascular endothelium, adipocytes, skeletal muscle, epithelial cells of the retina, breast, and intestine, smooth muscle cells, erythroid precursors, platelets, megakaryocytes, dendritic cells, monocytes macrophages, and microglia. As a member of the scavenger receptor family, CD36 is a multiligand pattern recognition receptor that interacts with a large number of structurally dissimilar ligands, including long chain fatty acid (LCFA), advanced glycation end products (AGE), thrombospondin-1,oxidized lowdensity lipoproteins (oxLDLs), high density lipoprotein (HDL), phosphatidylserine, apoptotic cells, β amyloid fibrils (fAβ), collagens I and IV, and Plasmodium falciparuminfected erythrocytes. CD36 is required for the antiangiogenic effects of thrombospondin-1 in the corneal neovascularization assay. It plays a role in lipid metabolism and has been identified as a fatty acid translocase necessary for the binding and transport of LCFA in cells and tissues.

Pyruvate kinase (PKLR) is a critical erythrocyte enzyme that is required for glycolysis and production of ATP. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is the most frequent red blood cell enzyme abnormality of the glycolytic pathway and the most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. Over 250 PKLR-gene mutations have been described, including missense nonsense, splicing and regulatory mutations, small insertions, small and gross deletions, causing PKD and hemolytic anemia of variable severity. PKLR expression was increased in liver metastases as well as in primary colorectal tumors of patients with metastatic disease. PKLR protein variants may affect the frequency, and the intensity of malaria episodes induced by different Plasmodium parasites in humans living in areas of endemic malaria.

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.
