Cell surface localisation of GPI-anchored receptors in <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>

2025-05-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Trypanosoma brucei , the causal agent of Human and Animal African trypanosomiasis proliferates in the extracellular milieu of mammals. It acquires host macromolecular nutrients, by receptor mediated endocytosis. The best characterised cell surface receptor is for transferrin (TfR) and it has been reported to be preferentially localised in the flagellar pocket domain of the plasma membrane, the s...
