Human Papillomavirus Type 6 Major Capsid Protein (L1)
- Molecular classification
- Viral structural protein, Capsid protein
01
Overview
The major capsid protein L1 from human papillomavirus type 6 is essential for virus assembly and infectivity. Its ability to form highly immunogenic virus-like particles has been harnessed successfully for preventive vaccines against multiple clinically relevant HPV types including those causing genital warts and cancers. Its structure-function relationship—especially its capacity to mimic native virions—makes it a cornerstone target molecule both biologically and therapeutically.
