PF3D7_0624000 hexokinase

Localisation of GFP-tagged PfHK using confocal microscopy. Brightfield, GFP-fluorescence and merged images of erythrocytes infected with two ring-stage parasites (top) and a trophozoite-stage parasite (bottom). Scale bar represents approximately 1.5 mm. GFP-associated fluorescence (green) was diffuse throughout the parasite cytosol, both in the ring and trophozoite stages.
