Plasmepsins are a class of at least 10 enzymes (EC 3.4.23.38 and EC 3.4.23.39) produced by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. There are ten different isoforms of these proteins and ten genes coding them respectively in Plasmodium (Plm I II III IV V VI VII IX X and HAP). It has been suggested that the plasmpesin family is smaller in other human Plasmodium species.
