basic FUNCTION
  • plasmodium falciparum receptor, playing an important role in regulating the stability of red cells
  • encodes two erythrocyte surface sialoglycoproteins in humans, glycophorin C and glycophorin D (GYPC and GYPD), via initiation of translation at two start codons on a single transcript
  • crucial role of GYPC for P. berghei infection
  • GYPA, GYPB receptor are of greater importance than the GYPC receptor, supporting a hierarchy of erythrocyte receptor usage in P. falciparum
