Protein E6 (E6)

Target: E6
Molecular classification: Oncoprotein

Overview

Protein E6 is an oncoprotein encoded by the early region of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genome, particularly in high-risk HPV types. It plays a central role in the viral life cycle and is directly implicated in cellular transformation, leading to malignancies such as cervical cancer. E6 acts primarily as an oncoprotein by targeting several key regulatory pathways within host cells, promoting cell proliferation and cancer development.
