Abstract excerpt
The membrane-bound acid phosphatase of Leishmania mexicana (LmxMBAP) has been shown to be a heterogeneously N-glycosylated type I transmembrane protein, which is localized predominantly in vesicular structures close to the flagellar pocket in promastigotes and amastigotes. Its expression in both life stages prompted us to analyse its function by performing deletion analysis. Both alleles of the single copy gene...
