We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF VIRAL MACROPHAGE INFLAMMATORY PROTEIN-II
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 11041848
Function
[VMI2_HHV8] Blocks infection by several different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains. This occurs because vMIP-II binds to a wide range of chemokine receptors. May form part of the response to host defenses contributing to virus-induced neoplasia and may have relevance to KSHV and HIV-I interactions.
About this Structure
