P113 is a merozoite surface protein that binds the N terminus of Plasmodium falciparum RH5

The secretedPlasmodium falciparum protein RH5 is essential for invasion of erythrocytes and is a promising vaccine candidate. Here, Galaway et al. show that the N-terminal region of RH5 binds the GPI-anchored merozoite surface protein P113 and can elicit invasion-blocking antibodies.
