Protein Domain : Plasmodium falciparum UIS3 membrane protein IPR021626

Type  Family
Description  UIS3 is a membrane protein essential for sporozoite development in infected hepatocytes. This family is 130-229 of the Plasmodium falciparum UIS3 protein which is compact and has an all α-helical structure. PfUIS3(130-229) interacts with lipids, phospholipid lysosomes, the human liver fatty acid-binding protein and with the lipid phosphatidylethanolamine. The interaction with liver fatty acid-binding protein provides the parasite with a method to import essential fatty acids/lipids during rapid growth phases of sporozoites [ ].
