MDV032

Gene
MDV032
Protein
Protein UL20 homolog
Organism
Gallid herpesvirus 2 (strain Chicken/Md5/ATCC VR-987)
Length
234 amino acids
Function
Plays an essential role in egress of virus particles from the nucleus, cytoplasmic envelopment and virus-induced cell fusion. Forms a functional protein complex with gK and this interaction is absolutely essential for their coordinate intracellular transport, gK glycosylation, expression on host cell surface, and function. Together, they modulate gB-mediated virus-induced cell fusion and virion egress and therefore actively participate in these processes (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the alphaherpesvirinae UL20 family.
Mass
