Function

RH5IP_PLAF7 Essential for the invasion of host erythrocytes by blood stage merozoites (PubMed:21909261, PubMed:25583518, PubMed:27374406, PubMed:27692771). As part of the PfRH5 adhesion complex, facilitates the interaction of RH5 and human BSG required for the Ca(2+) release into the erythrocyte (PubMed:27374406).^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
