Plasmepsin V FRET Substrate – 1 mg

Overview

The Plasmepsin V FRET Substrate – 1 mg is specifically designed for research involving Plasmepsin V (PMV), an essential aspartic protease from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. This substrate peptide is derived from the conserved Plasmodium Export Element (PEXEL) motif of Histidine-Rich Protein II (HRPII). PMV plays a critical role in the translocation of proteins into host erythrocytes, as it cleaves the RXL sequence within the PEXEL motif. This unique property makes the substrate invaluable for studies related to malaria and its pathology.

Key Features

• Derived from the PEXEL motif of HRPII, facilitating specific cleavage by PMV
• Supports high-throughput screening for malaria research
• Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) capabilities for sensitive detection
• Ideal for studies on protein export mechanisms in Plasmodium falciparum
• Available for sale in a convenient 1 mg quantity
