tvcp12: a novel Trichomonas vaginalis cathepsin L-like cysteine proteinase-encoding gene
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Trichomonas vaginalis is the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in humans. This protozoan has multiple proteinases that are mainly of the cysteine proteinase (CP) type, some of which are known to be involved in the parasite's virulence. Here, a novel T. vaginalis CP-encoding gene, tvcp12, was identified and characterized. tvcp12 is 948 bp long and encodes a...
