[[Plasmepsin]] (Plm) is a hemoglobin-degrading enzyme produced by the plasmodium parasite. It is an aspartic acid protease having 2 aspartic acid residues in the active site. Ten Plm isoforms are known which are named Plm I, II, etc and '''Histo-Aspartic Protease (HAP)'''. | [[Plasmepsin]] (Plm) is a hemoglobin-degrading enzyme produced by the plasmodium parasite.
