Epstein-Barr Virus Protein (EBV Protein)

Target: EBV Protein
Molecular classification: Viral Protein, Regulatory Protein, Glycoprotein, Nuclear Antigen, Tegument Protein

Overview

Epstein-Barr Virus Proteins are a collection of proteins encoded by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a herpesvirus associated with various malignancies and diseases. These proteins play crucial roles in viral replication, latency, immune evasion, and host cell transformation. Examples include the SM protein (a posttranscriptional regulator), glycoproteins gH/gL (involved in membrane fusion), EBNA1 (essential for latent-phase DNA replication), and BNRF1 (a major tegument protein and immune target). Targeting these proteins is of interest for developing antiviral therapies and immunotherapies.
