|
|
|
|
|
|
||
| UniProt code: P02893. |
|
||
| Organism: | |
Plasmodium falciparum. |
| Taxonomy: | |
Eukaryota; Sar; Alveolata; Apicomplexa; Aconoidasida; Haemosporida; Plasmodiidae; Plasmodium; Plasmodium (Laverania). |
|
||
|
||
| Function: | |
The circumsporozoite protein is the immunodominant surface antigen on the sporozoite (the infective stage of the malaria parasite that is transmitted from the mosquito to the vertebrate host). |
|
||
| Domain: | |
The C-terminal region is probably used for anchoring the protein to the cell membrane. The repeat sequences would be the surface antigen of the organism. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the plasmodium circumsporozoite protein family. {ECO:0000305}. |
