'''Gp41''' is a subunit of the envelope protein of retrovirus<ref>PMID:9630213</ref>. Gp41 is a transmembrane protein and contains several sites which are involved in the infection of the host cells. Gp160 is the cleavable precursor of Gp41 and Gp120. For more details see [[Hiv env proteins]]. | '''Gp41''' is a subunit of the envelope protein of retrovirus<ref>PMID:9630213</ref>.
