Pseudokinase NRP1 facilitates endocytosis of transferrin in the African trypanosome

Scientific Reports, 2022
Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. During infection of a vertebrate, endocytosis of host transferrin (Tf) is important for viability of the parasite.
