A vacuolar iron-transporter homologue acts as a detoxifier in Plasmodium
Iron is an essential nutrient but, in high concentrations, it is also toxic to cells. Here, Slavic et al. identify an iron transporter in malaria parasites that plays a major role in iron detoxification and is required for the parasite’s normal development.
