ZIPCO, a putative metal ion transporter, is crucial for Plasmodium liver‐stage development

Abstract The malaria parasite, Plasmodium, requires iron for growth, but how it imports iron remains unknown. We characterize here a protein that belongs to the ZIP (Zrt‐, Irt‐like Protein) family of metal ion transport proteins and have named ZIP domain‐containing protein (ZIPCO). Inactivation of t...
