It has a molecular weight of approximately 39 kDa. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible cleavage of fructose-16-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. This reaction is important for energy production in the parasite Plasmodium which causes malaria. Plasmodium aldolase is expressed in various stages of the parasite's life cycle including the erythrocytic stage where the parasite infects red blood cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPlasmodium aldolase plays a significant role in the survival and replication of the malaria parasite. It is not part of a larger protein complex but often associates with the cytoskeleton within the parasite facilitating its structural integrity and mobility. The enzyme's activity directly impacts the energy metabolism of Plasmodium making it essential for parasite survival and development in the host.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nEnzymes like Plasmodium aldolase operate within glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways which are central to carbohydrate metabolism. In the glycolytic pathway aldolase sequentially interacts with proteins such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Through its function in energy production aldolase indirectly supports various biosynthetic reactions and parasitic replication processes specific to Plasmodium.\u003cbr\u003e\nDisturbances in Plasmodium aldolase function are directly linked to malaria one of the major global infectious diseases. The enzyme itself is a target for antimalarial drug development as inhibitors could potentially disrupt parasite energy metabolism leading to its death. Research also indicates a connection between aldolase and another protein lactate dehydrogenase which facilitates the parasite's anaerobic metabolism thereby contributing to its adaptability under different oxygen conditions in the human host.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848646217897,"sku":"ab38905","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab38905","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
