Evidence for Activation of Endogenous Transporters in Xenopus laevis Oocytes Expressing the Plasmodium falciparum Chloroquine Resistance Transporter, PfCRT
17 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
A large body of genetic, reverse genetic, and epidemiological data has linked chloroquine-resistant malaria to polymorphisms within a gene termed pfcrt in the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. To investigate the biological function of the chloroquine resistance transporter, PfCRT, as well as its role in chloroquine resistance, we functionally expressed this protein in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Our data...
