PF3D7_1022700 phospholipid scramblase, plscr

PfPLSCR is expressed in gametocytes. A) Immunofluorescence analysis of stage III-IV gametocytes reveals different localisation patterns of the triple-HA tagged protein. Anti-Pfs16 is used as gametocyte specific antibody marking the PVM. Parasite nuclei are stained with DAPI. Scale bar = 1 mM. B) PfPLSCR-HA co-localises with the IMC marker GAP45, which delineates the parasite periphery.
