Incorrect. The ability of pfcrt to facilitate the efflux of CQ is a new function because wild-type pfcrt has no CQ-transport activity

It is you who is incorrect, for wild-type pfcrt seem to have CQ-transport activity.

It seems you skipped this part in the paper you cited:

Extensive research identified a CQ transporter, P. falciparum CQ resistance transporter (PfCRT), which functions in resistant but not wild-type strains of the parasite (2, 8⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–14).

So who is incorrect now? Next time don’t be in hurry to cite papers you haven’t read.
