PF3D7_1446800 heme detoxification protein

Subcellular localization of PfHDP in PfHDP- GFP transgenic lines. The image shows PfHDP is trafficked in punctate vesicle- like structures in the parasite (B) The BODIPY- TR ceramide stain, which stains the lipid membranes shows PfHDP- GFP are trafficked to the parasite plasma membrane (C) PfHDP colocalizes with Hb, both inside the parasite as well as in the cytoplasm of erythrocyte (Pearson coefficient co- relation - 0.8)
