The evolution of amastin surface glycoproteins in trypanosomatid parasites.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2010

Jackson Andrew P

Abstract excerpt

Amastin is a transmembrane glycoprotein found on the cell surfaces of trypanosomatid parasites. Encoded by a large, diverse gene family, amastin was initially described from the intracellular, amastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania donovani. Genome sequences have subsequently shown...
