STRUCTURE OF THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ONCOGENE BARF1
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 16647084
Function
[BRF1_EBV] Plays diverse functions in immunomodulation and oncogenicity, maybe by acting as a functional receptor for human CSF1. May inhibit interferon secretion from mononuclear cells. Exhibits oncogenic activity in vitro.[1] [2] [3]
About this Structure
2ch8 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Human herpesvirus 4. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
