Target intelligence / Profile preview

Nonstructural protein 5A of hepatitis C virus (NS5A)

Target
NS5A
Molecular classification
Viral nonstructural protein, Phosphoprotein, Zinc-binding protein
01

Overview

HCV's nonstructural protein 5A is a central regulator coordinating multiple aspects of the virus life cycle—including genome replication complex formation on ER membranes—and modulating cellular environments conducive to persistent infection. Its unique structure-function relationships make it both scientifically significant and clinically actionable as an antiviral target.
