PF3D7_0201800 knob associated heat shock protein 40

KAHsp40 is exported into the infected RBC cytosol. IFA of (B) ring stage parasites (C) trophozoite stage parasites (D) schizont stage parasites reveals the presence of KAHsp40 in discrete foci in the erythrocyte compartment. Black arrow indicates the parasite boundary and white arrow indicates the erythrocyte membrane.
