PF3D7_0628200 eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase

Subcellular co-localization of PK4 (green) and BiP (red) as revealed by immunofluorescence in erythrocytic stages of P. berghei. DAPI (blue) was used as a co-stain to show the parasite nuclei. Scale bar, 10 mm. PK4 localizes to the parasite endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a complex with the ER-resident chaperone BiP.
