Modulation of Malaria Phenotypes by Pyruvate Kinase (PKLR) Variants in a Thai Population.

Modulation of Malaria Phenotypes by Pyruvate Kinase (PKLR) Variants in a Thai Population.

Pyruvate kinase (PKLR) is a critical erythrocyte enzyme that is required for glycolysis and production of ATP. We have shown that Pklr deficiency in mice reduces the severity (reduced parasitemia, increased survival) of blood stage malaria induced by infection with Plasmodium chabaudi AS. Likewise,...
