== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RH5_PLAF7 RH5_PLAF7] Essential for the invasion of host erythrocytes by blood stage merozoites (PubMed:18827878, PubMed:19000690, PubMed:22080952, PubMed:25296023, PubMed:25583518, PubMed:27374406, PubMed:28186186, PubMed:28409866, PubMed:31204103). By binding P113 at the surface of the merozoite and human BSG/basigin on the erythrocyte membrane, leads to the establishment of a tight junction between the merozoite and host erythrocyte membranes (PubMed:22080952, PubMed:25296023, PubMed:25583518, PubMed:27374406, PubMed:28186186). In addition, the interaction with BSG results in BSG dimerization which triggers an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) in the erythrocyte (PubMed:27374406, PubMed:28409866). This essential step leads to a rearrangement of the erythrocyte cytoskeleton required for the merozoite invasion (PubMed:28409866).<ref>PMID:18827878</ref> <ref>PMID:19000690</ref> <ref>PMID:22080952</ref> <ref>PMID:25296023</ref> <ref>PMID:25583518</ref> <ref>PMID:27374406</ref> <ref>PMID:28186186</ref> <ref>PMID:28409866</ref> <ref>PMID:31204103</ref>
