Organism
African swine fever virus (isolate Pig/Kenya/KEN-50/1950)
Function
May play an immunosuppressive role by inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation and subsequently facilitating viral replication and generalization of infection (By similarity). Responsible for viral hemadsorption, which may help viral spread. Increases virus replication in the tick vector at the step of virus uptake or replication in the tick gut. May play a role in the host Golgi reorganization to yield viral factories (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the asfivirus CD2 homolog protein family.
