Protein
Protein UL24 homolog
Organism
Epstein-Barr virus (strain B95-8)
Function
May participate in nuclear egress of viral particles. Plays a role in the dispersal of several host nucleolar proteins including NCL/nucleolin and NPM1. Since deletion of host NCL/nucleolin negatively impact on nuclear egress, UL24 supposedly acts on this process through its effect on host nucleoli.
Similarity
Belongs to the herpesviridae UL24 family.
