BZLF2

Gene
BZLF2
Protein
Glycoprotein 42
Organism
Epstein-Barr virus (strain AG876)
Length
223 amino acids
Function
Plays a role in virion attachment to host B-lymphocytes, through binding to leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II and subsequently participates in fusion of the virion with host membranes. May act as a tropism switch that directs fusion with B-lymphocytes and inhibits fusion with epithelial cells (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the epstein barr virus gp42 family.
Mass
25.412 kDa

Protein
Glycoprotein 42
Organism
Epstein-Barr virus (strain B95-8)
Length
223 amino acids
Function
Soluble gp42 inhibits HLA class II-restricted antigen presentation to T-cells through binding to immature and mature HLA class II complexes.
Similarity
Belongs to the epstein barr virus gp42 family.
