Expression and Functional Studies of INS-5, an Insulinase-Like Protein in Cryptosporidium parvum

The small Cryptosporidium genome (∼9 Mb) has over 20 copies of genes encoding insulinase-like proteases (INS), suggesting that these enzymes may have important biological functions in the pathogen and could be developmentally regulated. In this study, INS-5, a unique member of the INS family in Cryp...
