Duffy Background Information Duffy protein (CD234) is the receptor for the human malarial parasite Plasmodium vivax, simian malarial parasite Plasmodium knowlesi, and can bind chemokines. Duffy is an acidic glycoprotein that carries antigenic determinants of the Duffy blood group system, which consists of four alleles, five phenotypes and five antigens. Duffy protein is detectable in endothelial cells of postcapillary venules, epithelial cells of kidney collecting ducts, lung alveoli, thyroid, and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum.
