Protein detail:


Protein name Myristylated Tegument Protein CIRC
Uniprot protein ID A0A2R4QFN8
Protein length 221 amino acids
Protein description VZV ORF2 encodes a 26-kDa protein containing 221 amino acids. VZV ORF2 encodes a phosphoprotein located in the membrane of infected cells and has been shown to be dispensable for viral replication in vitro and for establishment of latency in the cotton rat model.
