PF3D7_1209600 porphobilinogen deaminase

Localization of porphobilinogen deaminase PfPBGD with d-aminolevulinate dehydratase PfALAD and d-aminolevulinic acid synthase PfALAS in P. falciparum by immunofluorescence. PGDB and PfALAD are localized to the apicoplast. PfALAS is localized to the mitochondrion. IE, infected erythrocyte; P, parasite; H, hemozoin.
