This EGF-like domain is found at the C-terminus of the malaria parasite MSP1 protein. MSP1 is the merozoite surface protein 1. This domain is part of the C-terminal fragment that is proteolytically processed from the the rest of the protein and is left attached to the surface of the invading parasite.
