A proposed model of how ATP2B4 variant haplotype could protect from malaria: A Illustration shows invagination of erythrocyte membrane during invasion and formation of the parasitized vacuole with the inverted PMCA4b. B A second proposed model of how ATP2B4 variant haplotype may protect from malaria: RBCs with variant ATP2B4 variant haplotype will have increased concentration of Ca2+ resulting to dehydration
