Metabolism of host lysophosphatidylcholine in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> -infected erythrocytes

2023-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum requires exogenous fatty acids to support its growth during the pathogenic, asexual erythrocytic stage. Host serum lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a significant fatty acid source, yet the metabolic processes responsible for the liberation of free fatty acids from exogenous LPC are unknown. Using a novel assay for LPC hydrolysis in P. falciparum...
