Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase

UniProtKB accession:  Q7KQL9

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:26289816). 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 (PubMed:22991428, PubMed:25261592) (Probable). Stimulates actin polymerisation (PubMed:25261592).
