UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: B6KAM0 (B6KAM0)
Gene Name:
AMA1
Organism: Toxoplasma gondii (strain ATCC 50861 / VEG)
Function: Essential microneme protein that plays an important role in host cell invasion. Part of the moving junction (MJ) complex, a ringlike structure formed between the plasma membranes of the apical tip of the parasite and the target host cell. During invasion, the MJ migrates from the anterior to the posterior of the parasite, leading to internalization of the parasite into a parasitophorous vacuole (PV)
