MeSH definition : Secretory organelle in the apical complex of parasitic phylum APICOMPLEXA (e.g., TOXOPLASMA
GONDII). Microneme plays a role in junction formation between the parasite and the
host cell by releasing micronemal proteins, which bind to receptors on the host cell
surface enabling parasite attachment.;
