- Molecular classification
- Structural protein
01
Overview
The HIV type 1 capsid protein (CA or p24) is a critical structural component of HIV-1. It forms the conical core protecting the viral RNA genome. CA plays essential roles throughout the viral life cycle, including genome protection, host interactions for trafficking and nuclear import, and viral maturation/uncoating. It's a validated antiviral drug target with small molecule inhibitors under development.
