For decades, it has been known that malaria parasites use proteins called glycophorins as a means of entering red blood cells.
The pathway does not involve glycophorins, instead requiring the binding of a parasite molecule named PfRh4 to Complement Receptor 1 (CR1), a common protein found on the surface of red blood cells.
Similarly, they cause the rupture of glycophorins from the erythrocytic surface, easing the activation of the complement and hemolysis [121].

These SGPs were named as glycophorins (Furthmayr et al.
Rat erythrocyte glycophorins can be isolated by the lithium diiodosalicylate method used for other glycophorins.
For many years it has been known that proteins called
glycophorins are used by the parasite to gain entry into the red cell," said Jose A.
