Schematic representation of the Plasmodium falciparum 2-transmembrane proteins encoded by subtelomeric multicopy gene families. The number of genes and known subcellular localizations (ES, erythrocyte surface and MC, Maurer's Cleft), as well as the average number of amino acid residues in the extracellular loop are reported for the RIFIN, STEVOR, and PfMC-2TM families.
