We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

The binding to host hemoglobin is pH-sensitive and only occurs at acidic pH (PubMed:16777845). Cleaves ankyrin and protein 4.1, two components of host erythrocyte membrane cytoskeleton required for the stability of the erythrocyte membrane, and thus may be involved in parasite release (PubMed:11463472). Preferentially cleaves substrates which have an arginine or lysine at the P1 position and a leucine or phenylalanine at the P2 position (PubMed:10887194, PubMed:19357776).<ref>PMID:10887194</ref> <ref>PMID:11463472</ref> <ref>PMID:15070727</ref> <ref>PMID:15964982</ref> <ref>PMID:16777845</ref> <ref>PMID:19357776</ref> <ref>PMID:25791019</ref> |
