|
||
| Function: | |
May play a role in host cell invasion. {ECO:0000250}. |
|
||
| Subcellular location: | |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=Initially localizes to micronemes, specialized secretory organelles of apicomplexan parasites important for host cell invasion. Relocalizes to the surface membrane upon host invasion. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Induction: | |
Readily detected in oocysts (at protein level). Specifically up-regulated in sporozoites, but not in tachyzoites and bradyzoites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22279555, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22347997}. |
| Ptm: | |
Proteolytically cleaved within its transmembrane domain, releasing a soluble form from the cell surface. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the apicomplexan parasites AMA1 family. {ECO:0000305}. |
