Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Glycoproteins (HSV-2 Glycoproteins)
- Target
- HSV-2 Glycoproteins
- Molecular classification
- Viral Glycoprotein, Membrane Protein
01
Overview
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) encodes several envelope glycoproteins that are critical for viral entry, cell-to-cell spread, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. The most studied glycoproteins include gB (glycoprotein B), gD (glycoprotein D), gG (glycoprotein G), and others. Each plays a distinct role in the viral life cycle and presents a target for therapeutic intervention.
