== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PLM2_PLAFX PLM2_PLAFX] During the asexual blood stage, participates in initial cleavage of native host hemoglobin (Hb) resulting in Hb denaturation (PubMed:11782538, PubMed:15574427, PubMed:8844673). May cleave preferentially denatured hemoglobin that has been cleaved by PMI (PubMed:8844673). Digestion of host Hb is an essential step which provides the parasite with amino acids for protein synthesis, and regulates osmolarity (Probable).<ref>PMID:11782538</ref> <ref>PMID:15574427</ref> <ref>PMID:8844673</ref>
