Glycophorin C normally shows oscillatory movement in the erythrocyte membrane.

It then reorients such that the apical complex is in proximity to the erythrocyte membrane.

The rhoptery protein RON2 is inserted into the erythrocyte membrane.

The stiffness of the erythrocyte membrane increases as the parasite matures.

It also promotes host cell rupture by cleaving the skeletal proteins of the erythrocyte membrane.

Rifin protein are ultimately transported to the erythrocyte membrane.

This is followed by an eversion the entire erythrocyte membrane, an action that propels the merozoites into the blood stream.

The presence of specialized structures named "lipid rafts" in the erythrocyte membrane have been described by recent studies.
