Characterization of apicomplexan amino acid transporters (ApiATs) in the malaria parasite <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

2021-09-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> During the symptomatic human blood phase, malaria parasites replicate within red blood cells. Parasite proliferation relies on the uptake of nutrients, such as amino acids, from the host cell and the blood plasma, requiring transport across multiple membranes. Amino acids are delivered to the parasite through the parasite surrounding vacuolar compartment by specialized nutrient-permeable channel...
