Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase

UniProtKB accession:  P14223

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a key role in glycolysis by catalyzing the cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (PubMed:2190085). Independently of its catalytic activity, connects the actin filaments, and thus the actomyosin motor, to cell surface adhesins of the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP), the erythrocyte binding ligand (EBL) and reticulocyte binding homolog (RH) protein families; this interaction is probably involved in transducing the motor force across the parasite surface required for sporozoite and ookinete gliding motility and merozoite invasion (By similarity). Stimulates actin polymerisation (By similarity).
