Merkel Cell Polyomavirus T Antigens (MCPyV T Antigens)
- Target
- MCPyV T Antigens
- Molecular classification
- Viral Oncoprotein, Transcription factor regulator
01
Overview
Merkel Cell Polyomavirus T Antigens (MCPyV T Antigens) are a set of proteins, including Large T Antigen (LT) and Small T Antigen (sT), encoded by the Merkel Cell Polyomavirus. These antigens play critical roles in viral replication and oncogenesis, particularly in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). LT disrupts tumor suppressor pathways while sT promotes transformation. Targeting these antigens is an area of active research for MCC therapy.
